Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence said, “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

(I felt it was worth repeating.)

"Gun control is part and parcel of the ongoing collectivist effort to eviscerate individual sovereignty and replace it with dependence upon and allegiance to the state."

Collectivism is the cradle of tyranny.
O.A.

Get ready there is going to be an all out assault on the 2nd amendment. Please consider joining the NRA. I am a life member.

  Already am. I will never give up my right to self-defense, no matter who says and from what office they occupy. I don't see true criminals giving up theirs anytime soon. I've been expecting executive orders on this to come out and I guess this may happen....won't make a difference...just means things will a little more challenging to keep them from the SS. Last I checked, heroin, cocaine and meth are all illegal, but anyone can buy some in any town. Somehow, I don't see the Federal ban on firearms being successful.

  Especially since Gabby Giffords and her husband have started a fund to counter the NRA, even though they "totally believe in the 2nd Amendment". Can't wrap my head around that logic....other than it tugs at the heart strings (of blind and uninformed idiots).

Food for thought:

"Know guns, know peace, know security". and the opposite: "No guns, no peace, no security".

Question: Since Liberals see the Gun as the evil culprit of violence, why don't they force the police to arrest the gun and ignore the person? Why not put the gun behind bars? Just asking...

  I love this response, mind if I use it with a couple of liberal friends?

    Oh, I nearly forgot: We see the police arresting the person and the law-abiding folks hearing/seeing this are like 'Great, we can relax, the idiot has been arrested.' But to the Liberal, they see this and when the Gun has been quieted, I'm thinking their view on it is 'Whew, the gun has been stopped, thank government!'
    
    You can clearly see the polar divide between the camps can't you?

    Ha. Thanks, please go ahead. I'm just looking for consistent application of Liberal Logic, which is anything but logical.
