"Why, oh, why do the most rabid gun owners and wannabe gun buyers insist that common sense limitations on gun purchases, such as waiting periods and background checks, are infringements on their Second Amendment rights? Tomorrow, March 11, the Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety of the Wisconsin Senate will consider SB 35, a measure that would remove the 48-hour 'cooling-off' period for handgun sales in our state."

Unless, of course you're a female with a PFA being threatened or stalked. Or some small store owner being targeted by a local gang. Or witness prior to trial that just got the message "snitches get stitches". Lots of self-satisfied people living secure lives have no knowledge of the majority's realities.
But I'm willing to compromise. I suggest we apply the same restrictions to any commentator to purchase a computer, or publish a LTE. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
