Recent events remind me of the only lasting memory remaining from having poked my head inside a long-ago gun show at the Astrodome: Metal detectors were at the entrance.
Yes, even a gathering of gun nuts didn’t want nuts with guns joining the day’s congregation.
I use that example to illustrate why people who denounce gun control need to define their terms. After all, stationing metal detectors outside a gun show clearly is gun control.
But what about our freedoms?
Welcome to a national nightmare. |

| At the conventions the secret service demands no weapons of any kind. However how many people were shot with all those armed open carriers outside the convention? That is right none. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
