"As the US began to grow, immigrants started flowing into this new land of opportunity. Immigrants from Europe and Asia made up the majority of the newcomers. Thousands of miles of ocean separated the newcomers from their old homeland. The remoteness from their roots made it a little easier to �cut the ties� from the homeland and assimilate into a new �American� culture." |

Sarah Thompson examines the anti-gun psyche.
-------
"In my experience, the common thread in anti-gun people is rage. Either anti-gun people harbor more rage than others, or they're less able to cope with it appropriately. Because they can't handle their own feelings of rage, they are forced to use defense mechanisms in an unhealthy manner. Because they wrongly perceive others as seeking to harm them, they advocate the disarmament of ordinary people who have no desire to harm anyone." |

"...I'm not sure why Alaska is such a magnet for these people, but we must lead the nation in self-trained Constitutional experts per capita. Many, it's true, seem to be specialists, not just in the second amendment but in the second half of the second amendment. But I'm sure that their scholarship is not limited to fulminating against even the most reasonable form of gun control. I'll bet they are equally opposed to the quartering of soldiers, excessive bail and the right of women to vote."

The irony of freedom is that though we all crave it, we all also fear it. We crave it because it is a crucial human tool of self-fulfillment; we fear it because of the work and responsibility it implies. Of course, I'm talking about freedom in a practical sense. Freedom in a theoretical sense can mean anything; from the political definition, which is also the most widely used, defining freedom as the absence of obstacles, to the religious definition, which is the practice of a free will. |
