Smut, not guns, is the great risk to teenagers. So say Florida lawmakers, who - days after one of the deadliest school massacres in history occurred on their doorstep, as the child survivors of that massacre watched from the gallery - refused to consider a bill banning assault-style rifles. About an hour later, those same legislators passed a resolution declaring that pornography endangers teenage health. Say what you will about porn, but to my knowledge, it has not been used to slaughter teens.

"But Stand Your Ground is hardly the only case of extreme Floridian deference to the gun lobby."
It's "extreme deference" to the constitutional presumption of innocence, you dimwit.
And the rest is a result of "extreme deference" to the rights of self-defense and the means to defend oneself.
By painting the NRA as the bogeyman, you expose yourself as the real extremist. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
