Another week means another spate of new gun control policy proposals from the camps of the Democratic Presidential Candidates. But are they telling the whole story?
As the Democratic candidates try to out-socialism one another, they are also trying to out-gun-control one another. What they aren�t telling us is that their policy proposals won�t make us any safer, no matter how nice they might sound.
To be clear, we all want deaths using firearms �or using any other method� to go down. But it�s important to implement solutions that have been demonstrated to be helpful. It�s not enough for a proposal to feel right or to sound good; it must actually work. |

I fear the a hole that decides that a bomb would be better than a rifle. The odds of surviving a mass shooting are much greater that a bomb blast. |

TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" �Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
