Tracy Perhaps for the benefit of the rest of world you could describe these ammendments. America has so much to teach the rest of the world. You know, how to do things right. So they can understand America better and love her more. Paraphrasing Mencken: 'In America, it's pretty well impossible to heave an egg out of your car window and not hit a gun owner'. |

You should note that Mecken was in fact quite PRO gun ownership. He was complaionig about about harrassmnet by the government do gooders. The full quote is below. Mencken was a genius and ahead of his time. Note the date. ================================================= "The new law that is advocated, indeed, is one of the most absurd specimens of jackass legislation ever heard of, even in this paradise of legislative donkeyism. Its single and sole effect would be to exaggerate enormously all of the evils it proposes to put down. It would not take pistols out of the hands of rogues and fools; it would simply take them out of the hands of honest men. "Here I do not indulge in theory. The hard facts are publicly on display in New York State, where a law of exactly the same tenor is already on the books the so-called Sullivan Law. In order to get it there, of course, the Second Amendment had to be severely strained, but the uplifters advocated the straining unanimously, and to the tune of loud hosannas, and the courts, as usual, were willing to sign on the dotted line. It is now a dreadful felony in New York to "have or possess" a pistol. Even if one keeps it locked in a bureau drawer at home, one may be sent to the hoosegow for ten years. "With what result? With the general result that New York is the heaven of footpads, hijackers, gunmen and all other such armed thugs. Their hands upon their pistols, they know they are safe. Not one citizen out of a hundred that they tackle is armed. For getting a license to keep a revolver is a difficult business, and carrying one without it is more dangerous than submitting to robbery." H.L. Mencken, Baltimore Evening Sun, 1925 ================================================== ===== |
