All, And they call this phenomenum "prevention" in order to assume CONTROL!! Peace and love, George.

Nice post.

I didn't see it so I'll add this one, which I believe  can be attributed to Col. Cooper.

Anything which goes bang is better than fingernails.

Remember, Clinton said he could look with socialism in our private bedrooms, yet we could not look in our public bedroom of the whitehouse.

Those who believe in the sinlessness of government and the sinfulness of people are socialist hypocritical pigs. And, frankly, the gun is not for consumption but for God's jurisdiction in the end (as per the sin caveat), hence due process better be instituted either way.

However, the instituted sinfulness of individuals will not go through me, because my enemy needs to learn about its own sins for its own sake, and I will dare it sin and continue its hypocrisy.

Does this apply to the terrorized in Israel?

Gandhi quotes:

• Where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence I advise violence.
• I WOULD risk violence a thousand times rather than risk the emasculation of a whole race.
• But I believe that non-violence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment. Forgiveness adorns a soldier...But abstinence is forgiveness only when there is the power to punish; it is meaningless when it pretends to proceed from a helpless creature....
• The world is not entirely governed by logic. Life itself involves somekind of violence and we have to choose the path of least violence.
• My method of non-violence can never lead to loss of strength, but it alone will make it possible, if the nation wills it, to offer disciplined and concerted violence in time of danger.
• My non-violence does admit of people, who cannot or will not be non-violent, holding and making effective use of arms. Let me repeat for the thousandth time that non-violence is of the strongest, not of the weak.
• To run away from danger, instead of facing it, is to deny one's faith in man and God, even one's own self. It were better for one to drown oneself than live to declare such bankruptcy of faith.
• I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully.
