I know this column will be wildly unpopular with many readers.
Honestly, I don’t want to write it. I have received all of the emails on this subject that I care to.
However, to do my part as an honest person seeking to use his voice to advance reasonable conversations on important topics, I have to address this issue again.
The lobbyist driven, legislator endorsed gun culture that conservative politics is espousing as the highest expression of liberty has to be stopped before we don’t recognize America anymore.

OK, Mr. Patriot,
What part of "Shall NOT be infringed" do you not understand? |

"Most of these fear-driven gun fetishists would, in reality, relieve their bladders down their pants legs should any situation arise that called for them to return fire."
Gee whizzz... last I checked maybe half a million to a million people used thier legal guns in self-defense each year against some criminal. I don't recall that any of these people peed their pants.
I think this author must be some type of sanctimonious jack-ass. |

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 |
