Poster's Note:
The article appearing in the August 10 issue of Gun Week is entitled Why Scan the Hands that Feed you, and is authored by former Congressman Bob Barr. Why indeed, and even more interesting, why will the sheeple put up with such foolishness, as most of them undoubetdly will? Why indeed? My Letter To The Editor at Gun Week follows. Some might find it interesting.
Let your mind wander a bit, while the following image solidifies. A young child, having been told by it's parents that they will NOT be going to Disney Land, Busch Gardens or possibly any number of other "theme parks" that have become relatively common. The child sniffles a bit, but calms down, to listen to the serious voice of it's parents, who take the time and effort to carefully explain, so that the child will understand exactly why they will NOT be visiting one theme park or another during their summer vacation.
The reasons for not visiting are all to clear, or should be, to anyone who read the above mentioned piece, and one might be truly surprised at the depth of understanding children are capable of, when matters are properly explained to them, by adults who themselves understand and care about the issues involved. Unfortunately, it might well be that altogether to many "adults", neither understand nor care overly much about the issues that are so obviously involved, so their children will likely never learn the important lessons that the above mentioned careful explanations could have provided.
Speaking personally, and I have fortunately for myself and any children who might have been involved, never entered into the child raising business, I find myself a bit curious as to which aspect of the thing is sadder. That so called adults fail to understand what is ultimately involved in this business, or that children, the future of the nation, we are told, will likely not learn lessons that they should have learned, at the knees of their parents.
One other point of curiosity is reference in the current Hindsight section to the frivolous law suits brought against gun makers, distributors and retail dealers, many of these suits being tossed out of court. How come we have yet to see the first counter suit, or have I missed something interesting.
