Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn's letter to Florida Gov. Rick Scott was all prudence and sensibility, a reasonable request for a temporary ban on guns at a potentially combustible, very political event.
Emphasis on political.
Buckhorn asked for a ban downtown during the Republican convention that will bring 50,000 people to town in August.
Four days in a small and defined part of the city seemed no more an affront to the Second Amendment than, say, a three-day cooling-off period to buy a gun — a prudent rule that has no doubt saved lives.
Saving lives being the point. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
