Chas, as he is wont to do, brings teh Smart. A resident of Colorado, he doesn’t fit into what the mainstream media’s mold of a gun-owner and 2nd Amendment supporter. Chas has an understanding of culture wars and the futility of banning items to cause change in human behavior. An excerpt:
The “wish to ban” is an odd psychological phenomenon. Some people do
think that if we removed a certain class of inanimate objects from the
world, all would be fine, the lion would lie down with the lamb, and no
one would hurt each other. (See also Prohibition, War on [Some] Drugs.)Or we might have again the high murder rates of the Middle Ages and such gun-free zones as the Hundred Years War, the genocidal conquests of Genghiz Khan and Tamerlane, and the Crusades. Want to try the experiment?
As Glenn Reynolds would say, read the whole thing.
