... "Looking at the facts in this case, the argument seems, to me, altogether obvious. [The Tucson shooter] walked into a Sportmen’s Warehouse in Tuscon and bought a gun that he later used to kill six people. These actions were irrational, maniacal and, in their effects, tragic. But most tragic of all to me is that they were easily preventable were the state to adopt a reasonable policy regarding the sale of guns to the mentally disturbed. ..." -------

QUOTES
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 |
