"Advocates of a saner approach to guns need a new strategy."
"We cannot go on like this, wringing our hands in frustration after every tragedy involving firearms. We said 'Enough' after Sandy Hook. We thought the moment for action had come. Yet nothing happened. We are saying 'Enough' after Charleston. But this time, we don't even expect anything to happen."

We might as easily demand the "right to be free" from the tyranny of the computer and the internet which are the enabling tools of the "tyranny of the minorities". With an estimated 370+ million privately-owned firearms extant, and more purchased daily how does the writer intend to accomplish his intent without violating several key provisions set forth in our constitution ? Perhaps he does, which pretty well defines the reason for the 2nd. amendment.
Then there's the nasty reality, firearms are mere mechanical devices easily fabricated by anyone with modest tools and skills from readily-available materials and tools. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
