n this column, A1F Daily trains its watchdog eye on “The Trace,” Michael Bloomberg’s new anti-“gun news” site.
On Thursday, Sept. 17, The Trace wrote that the American Bar Association (ABA) was to release a report this week calling for repeal of Stand Your Ground Laws (SYG).
This is not really news: The Trace tells us that the ABA report, “an advance copy of which was provided to The Trace,” (which should tell you something), “largely echoes a preliminary version released last year,” (which should tell you even more). Releasing a final version of a preliminary report is a shopworn tactic to try to keep old “news” in the public eye. |

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 |
