"Now Andy Parker, whose daughter Alison could have been anyone’s daughter last week, speaks with more anger and more clarity about guns than any politician running for President. Alison Parker’s father does this even as this country continues to die a little bit more, one gun death at a time."
"So Alison Parker’s father, talking to the country from a place in his heart raw with grief, will be the latest parent to find out what it is like to go up against the permanent government of guns in America, and against his own government, one too cowardly to do enough about background checks that aren’t tough enough and gaping gun-show loopholes that are so often big enough and wide enough that 16-wheelers can drive through them with ease." ... |

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 |
