Some of us think guns are good, and some of us think guns are bad. Both viewpoints, as I’ll describe them here, are wrong. We all know too many of these voodoo gun owners.
Superstitious gun owners think guns will protect them. These guys and gals go buy another gun if an anti-gun politician says guns are bad. These same gun owners won’t join the NRA to support pro-gun politicians. They go buy another gun if there is a violent crime in their neighborhood, yet they never stop to take a training class. They don’t know how much they don’t know.
I’m going to be blunt: a gun isn’t magic. Only your ingrained habits can help you when you need to defend those you love. Have you built those habits through study and practice? |

| Although I'm not a fan of mandated training, I can't emphasize enough the value of the skills a person learns when they attend a training class that teaches them how to fight with a firearm. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
