My in-box is lately the repository of all manner of screeds about how Obama "is gonna come and take our guns" ..... and our babies and our cars and, ........ well you get the picture.
Thing is, this debate is nothing new. I heartily recommend Adam Winkler's GUN FIGHT for a pretty comprehensive discussion of gun control throughout American history. A shorter version can be found here in his article for The Atlantic.
Lately we've seen all kinds of totally irresponsible behavior from those advocating support of (their version thereof) the Second amendment:
Two guys in Portland cause a lock-down of a day-care center and numerous 911 calls by parading through a neighborhood (legally) carrying AR-15 type rifles. Note that the article makes reference to California law (see Winkler's article for how this came about).
A Tennessee firearms instructor has had his concealed carry permit revoked because of his statements regarding his possible response to gun control measures.
A father in Texas is arrested for conducting a "security drill" at his child's school - - unannounced,
unofficial and unsolicited.
So, on it goes ..............
And I'm not sure that Frazz would want to participate in the program, eh ?
