I think common sense tells us crazy people shouldn't have guns. The problem is, I don't trust our government enough to allow them to make any rulings that involve common sense. As a vet, I don't want to be labeled incompetent to own a firearm because they've come up with some new fancy mental diagnosis that I could get grouped into if they felt like it. I'm not shell shocked, have PTSD, or any other issues, but that won't keep them from labeling me something to suit their agenda.
I like that quote. I read stuff on his website from time to time. He's got some good articles on there.
I'm not so sure the country has turned that far left. As a whole, it still seems fairly split down the middle. Now the media has swung way off to the left and barely tries to hide it anymore. That makes the news sound like the whole country leans that direction. Kind of like if you only listened to Rush you'd wonder how anyone could be crazy enough to elect Obama.
We need to relearn how to recognize the trade-offs that come from risk management, especially risk from our fellow human beings. We need to relearn how to accept risk, and even embrace it, as essential to human progress and our free society. - Bruce Schneier
