Liberals exploit the young and naive for their own purposes.
It gives them plausible deniability.
They lose naivety when life beats them up and robs their ass, or kills someone they know, and they are there crapping their pants wishing and praying that they had a gun to fight back with.
I love the interview in the early 90s with Heston, where he discussed the LA riots, and his liberal friends were asking him to borrow a gun or two from him, and he says, just go down to the gun store, and buy one, and go through the waiting period, then you’ll have one, and they say yeah, but the waiting period, we need it now, and Heston says well you voted for that - and din’t loan them any guns. It would have been hell for Heston if these people who didn’t know squat about guns shot someone accidentally and they find out it isn’t theirs but Hestons’ guns. Lawsuit city.
You Maniacs!!!! You Destroyed It!!1
Hm, here is what the Judge of Every Man has said: "It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin."
That was so important as to be included not twice, but thrice: Matthew 18:6; Luke 17:2; Mark 9:42.

This is why I think it may ultimately be a good thing that the high unemployment rate is causing many to move in with family: it will strengthen familial bonds as well as make them more sensitive [and aware] of the unacceptable manner of our government (no-knock raids and such).

It reminds me, vaguely, of the parable of the virgins.
