I like the fact that this guy was a seagent in Vietnam and then came back and went to college. He's seen both the blue-collar and the white collar. This is typical of the Great Generation born in the early 20th century, but untypical of Baby Boomers. This is great!

....In May of 1994, then Rep. Tom Ridge teamed up with President Bill Clinton, Sarah Brady (HCI) and Rep. Charles Schumer (D-NY) to pass the semi-auto gun and magazine ban. By casting his vote for the gun ban in a narrow 216 to 214 loss for America's gun owners, Ridge's one vote can arguably be blamed for its passage and subsequent inclusion in the Clinton crime bill of 1994.

Mr. Ridge seems to have missed something that was blatantly obvious to most who were in Viet Nam. The VC, and ARVN had no problem taking all the food from a village, and forcing the villagers to do whatever they wanted, because the villagers were not armed.
