Do we need greater gun control?: First lady is right person to lead charge on sensible policy

OK ... I’m suggesting that we turn their rhetoric against them, and that we take the offensive in this war of words and ideas. Yes, we must oppose whatever insanity they’re puking up at the moment. We must also propose and advance our own agenda of liberty and self reliance. It’s not enough just to argue about whether the latest repressive outrage from the left is a good idea or not. We MUST turn the conversation toward what increases in personal freedom should be enacted first. This strategy has proven successful in the several States.

Not that facts enter into the gun control debate now that the Left-wing extremists see an opportunity to end America as we knew it, but here are two journal articles that illustrate the unintended consequences of gun control, namely increased murder and suicide rates, and mass-murder by government of its own citizens.

WOULD BANNING FIREARMS REDUCE MURDER AND SUICIDE?, Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Volume 30, Number 2, Spring 2007 (pp. 649-694)

OF HOLOCAUSTS AND GUN CONTROL, Washington University Law Quarterly, Volume 75, Number 3, Fall 1997 (pp. 1237-1275) (PDF Version)

She must be from one of the more liberal versions of the Jewish faith.

Subjected to suitable modifications, we agree:

"She" must be from one of the more liberal versions of the "Jewish" faith.
