This is the second time this week I have written them about gun control. I can't encourage everyone enough to join in as this is the most important fight I have seen on gun control, since gun control legislation started in 1968. This is how countries are taken over. Not by tanks rolling down main street or paratroops like in "Red Dawn", but by a thousand cuts like is happening now. This particular cut is to the throat and the only going back after this is resistance. Once Obama is able to appoint two Supreme Court Justices, trying to appeal these measures as unconstitutional looks impossible. Socialism=communism. They may be defined as different, but if we lose our freedom it will look the same.

"False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns,and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carring of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Can it be supposed that those who have the courage to violate the most sacred of laws of humanity, the most important of the code, will respect the less important and arbitrary ones, which can be violated with ease and impunity, and which, if strickly obeyed, would put an end to personal liberty...and subject the innocent persons to all the vexations that the guilty alone ought to suffer? Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. They ought to be designated as laws not preventive but fearful of crimes, produced by the tumultuous impression of a few isolated facts, and not by thoughtful comsideration of the inconveniences and advantages of a universal decree." ............Cesare Beccaria (1764)
