A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Too many damn Yankees constantly moving down here to Florida. I fear this state will become the new Virginia.

A big part of it was there was a massive charge of people bailing out of the poor Southern states (coal mines, etc) and rushing up to the Northern states to make the BIG money/retirement/pensions/great medical coverage and all of the new housing/schools, etc for themselves and their families, now they're retiring to the retirement states or heading 'back home' with it all.

We aren't there yet, but it is a concern. The last couple of years not a lot has happened, I'd like to see some progress this year but so far the majority of the gun bills introduced have been bad. I'm hoping the house holds the line, there is little hope for the Senate.

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... 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.” Thomas Jefferson
