Gopnik writes, “There is no reason that any private citizen in a democracy should own a handgun.”
I can think of many reasons to own a handgun, not least of them because there are so many people like Mr. Gopnik writing for major magazines and influencing the way we live – which means insisting we become defenseless victims. And contrary to Mr. Herbert’s insulting lie, Americans aren’t hooked on violence; it is criminals who are hooked on violence. Most of us go about our daily lives, meeting our obligations, living in kindness and charity, and wouldn’t harm a hair on our neighbor’s head. And when he says, “pull the guns out of circulation,” what he really means is “out of your possession.”
Submitter's note: Just because one lives north of the Mason-Dixon doesn't qualify you as a 'yankee' in this context. A 'yankee' is equal to a statist in this article.
I've met my share of northern rednecks. :0) |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
