"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Gun Amendment on Missouri Ballot Draws Support, Fire
Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2014-07-29 00:00
“Amendment 5 would declare the right to keep and bear arms 'unalienable' and subject to laws restricting gun rights to 'strict scrutiny.'” Recognition of the right of self-defense scares the St. Louis police chief, who “fears prosecutors would be less likely to take a case involving criminal gun possession and juries would be less likely to convict.” This would make him seem indifferent to the fate the mom in the next article might have suffered had her son not used a gun to defend her.
