On gun control



It is my opinion that:
 those who clamor for 'More government control and regulation' of anything, the topic du jour being fire arms, those who clamor are those with no faith in the goodness of their fellow man, and no faith in the self control and moral uprightness of individuals.

Their projection: "I don't have any, why should I expect anybody else to? People need someone to tell them what to do."

Well, yes, and no.

Yes, people need to have boundaries: these are what proper parenting will teach. Once parents have taught correct principles, than the children will grow in adherence to these principles into proper adults.


No, a govenrment is not the right organization to instill these boundaries and correct principles.

The problem is not a proliferation of a given type of material object, like firearms. The problem is an ideological abdication of responsibility and rejection of certain authorities in favor or others.
