Remember this : (all heard from other people…)
*Guns kill people just like pencils misspell words.
*When seconds count, the police are minutes away.
*”There is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen.”
[Bowers v. DeVito, 686 F.2d 616, at 618 (7th Cir. 1982)]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 1996 the UKs political elite said that a handgun ban would reduce armed crime.
When it didn’t they said a ban on air cartridge guns would reduce armed crime.
When it didn’t they said a ban on replicas would reduce armed crime.
When it didn’t they tried to ban deactivated guns, but failed because the murder being used as their excuse wasn’t committed with a reactivated gun after all.
Now that armed crime is way above the 1996 level (pre-bans) they don’t want to talk about it.

When they took the fourth amendment, I was silent because I don’t deal drugs.
When they took the sixth amendment, I kept quiet because I know I’m innocent.
When they took the second amendment, I said nothing because I don’t own a gun.
Now they’ve come for the first amendment, and I can’t say anything at all.
