If it seemed a touch peculiar that the president would reserve his most vehement words of condemnation for a firearm, rest assured that it was. But, alas, it was also par for the course. In the eyes of America�s ever-zealous gun-controllers, the AR-15 represents all that is wrong with the right of the people to keep and bear arms, and, indeed, with the country�s culture at large.
In consequence, banning it is imperative not only in the fight against �gun violence,� but as a means by which individualism itself can be checked. Time and time again, those who own AR-15s�or similar�are cast as reactionaries, or bitter clingers, or, worst of all, as full-on terrorists.

Man Recoils AR-15 Against Nose

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. � Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S. Brown, Prohibition Fever, NationalReview.com |
