"Advocates of a saner approach to guns need a new strategy."
"We cannot go on like this, wringing our hands in frustration after every tragedy involving firearms. We said 'Enough' after Sandy Hook. We thought the moment for action had come. Yet nothing happened. We are saying 'Enough' after Charleston. But this time, we don't even expect anything to happen."
"What's needed is a long-term national effort to change popular attitudes toward handgun ownership. And we need to insist on protecting the rights of Americans who do not want to be anywhere near guns." ... |

We might as easily demand the "right to be free" from the tyranny of the computer and the internet which are the enabling tools of the "tyranny of the minorities". With an estimated 370+ million privately-owned firearms extant, and more purchased daily how does the writer intend to accomplish his intent without violating several key provisions set forth in our constitution ? Perhaps he does, which pretty well defines the reason for the 2nd. amendment.
Then there's the nasty reality, firearms are mere mechanical devices easily fabricated by anyone with modest tools and skills from readily-available materials and tools. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
