this board's positive gleanings are almost word for word with a Jefferson quote: "when the gov.t fears the people there is liberty. when the people fear the gov.t there is tyranny." against which gun grabber Rep. henry waxman is contrasted: "If someone is so fearful that they are going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, it makes me very nervous that these people have weapons at all." So, who do you stand with: Jefferson or Waxman?

I stand with Jefferson yet with the caveat that evil behavior will be punished. thus the reason for the Scripture quotation. with liberty comes great responsibility. abusing the privilege with vice brings tyranny.
