Too many people get their minds full of ways to supposedly "do good" after a tragedy like what happened to Mr. Brady.
Most times they are hopelessly wrong headed. This is defintely one of them.
"When handguns are outlawed, only criminals will have handguns"
...with the exception of the police
...with the exception of the police? I don't know about that. See the WOD for exceptions to THAT rule. Per Lord Acton who wrote years ago about the infallibility of the Pope, "Power tends to corrupt but absolute power corrups absolutely." Drug warriors have it seems sometimes absolute power to invade and seize property in the name of the state. So I would say that some, not all, police act in a criminal manner under the guise of law. Using, I might add, guns that would be illegal if we owned them.
