Great post. Unfortunate it had to come to such extreme ends for him to realize what gun grabbers have done for us.

Has anyone seen a piece from Esquire Magazine entitled "50 Million Handguns?" It's a long, detailed letter to the editor that was written in response to some tsk-tsk antigun piece. The author lays out the events in his life that changed he and his wife from sheeple to well-armed sheepdogs.

I read it a while back, but lost the link I had to it.
