How many readers assumed that the “Fox anchor” would be … Shepard Smith? Nope — in this case it’s Minnesota’s own Gretchen Carlson, who wants action taken by Congress to reinstate an assault weapons ban in the wake of the terrorist attack in Orlando on Sunday morning. “Yes, the Orlando massacre was terror,” Carlson told her audience last night, “but there’s no doubt that Omar Mateen was able to kill so many people because he was firing an AR-15, a military style assault weapon, a weapon easier to buy in the state of Florida than buying a handgun.” |

| She feels it was the right thing to do. Hey Gretchen what is an assault weapon? You can bet she has no idea. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
