"'What more will it take?' asked Kathy George, president of Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence. A news conference was held the day after funeral services were held for Indianapolis Police Patrolman Timothy 'Jake' Laird who was fatally wounded by a bullet from the SKS rifle of a suspected mentally ill gunman during a rampage on the Southside on Aug. 18."

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
