According to [Italian Marquis Cesare Beccria] and [Thomas] Jefferson, gun control laws “disarm those only who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Can it be supposed that those who have the courage to violate the most sacred laws of humanity, the most important code . . . will respect the less important and arbitrary ones, which can be violated with was and impunity, and which, if strictly obeyed, would put an end to personal liberty. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants . . . [These] laws [are] not preventative but fearful of crimes, produced by the tumultuous impression of a few isolated facts, and not by thoughtful consideration.”

Hi Glenn,
Just think about the issue of gun control from this perspective. If the common populace should be disarmed, then so should our police and military. What's fair is fair.
