What disturbs me most about gun control is the totalitarian impulse that lies so close under the exterior of its adherents. A political system that claims that it cannot function unless all the world is forced to adhere to it is inherently evil - on a small scale we see this in gun control, on a large one World Socialism, or radical Islam. The excuse is always twofold - first, that the existence of an area that is not under the control of that system allows the influx of prohibited items, or ideas, to the purer homeland; and second, and far more perniciously, that such an area constitutes a place to which dissenters may escape. "No one shall differ anywhere" is not the slogan of a free man, it is the slogan of a religious fanatic and a tyrant.

Tolerance is not a conditioned response.

Or, as the Cryptoqoute had it:

"The object of punishment is prevention from evil; it never can be made impulsive to good." Horace Mann.
