"If
gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have
no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of crime rates reduced by
such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying
-- that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in
the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the
attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 -- establishes the
repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious
crime." - Senator Orrin Hatch
"The
problem is not the availability of guns, it is the
availability of morons."
- Antonio Meloni
"Those
who deny me the freedom to carry a firearm with which to protect my family and
myself, are as complicit and guilty as the perpetrator should we be harmed or
murdered by an act of violence." - Charles F. "Chuck" Bearden

U.S.
Ben Stein's Diary
God Help Us
A massacre that
has turned the world upside down.
Sunday
I learned about the massacre at
It still is that kind of news, and
it’s incredibly depressing about the nature of humanity. And my wife and I pray
all day for the souls of those dear children and for the peace, if there ever
will be peace, of their families… and for the souls of the adults and the peace
of those who knew and loved them.
As usual, the smartest comment
about the whole subject came from John R. Coyne, Jr. “There is evil in the
world. It’s beyond mental illness, beyond gun control. It is evil.”
The killer got his weapons from his
mother, who apparently had bought them legally and registered them. That tells
us something about what anti-gun laws would do, although maybe the mother
should not have had them either. In this world, a killer devil can kill his
mother and steal her guns to kill six year olds. That’s what some humans are
and I am not sure what laws will stop them.
Second, I read that the killer was
socially awkward (putting it mildly) and “reserved.” I know what that often
means. He spent much of his miserable life playing shoot ’em up video games on
line or on machines. I see a troubled young man doing that often.
Up close and personal.
In these games, the “player” just
spends his whole day attempting to exercise and exorcize his loneliness and low
self-esteem by shooting imaginary creatures and creating damage all day long.
At a certain point, just “killing”
on the console blurs into doing it in real life. “Killing” is just what the kid
does all his life. How much of a stretch is it for him to shoot into a movie
theater or a political gathering or a kindergarten in “real life” if his life
is so pitiful that he does not know what’s real and what is not? If you are
looking for a villain, try shoot ’em up games.
Third, what motivates “great”
deeds? So that a man’s name will not be forgotten and he will be sung about
even after his death, goes the ancient saying. That’s what you get if you
slaughter 26 totally innocent people at a grade school. If you want another
villain, try the media itself, which has now given Adam Lanza
fame beyond what he could have dreamt of. It is impossible to blame the media,
but evil men like Adam Lanza have gamed
the system to perfection.
Fifth, why are these killers always
men? What is it that we teach our young men in this world that makes them think
it’s a mark of manliness to kill the unarmed and innocent? Whatever it is, it’s
disgusting. It’s not manly to kill any unarmed human. It’s miserable, crawling
cowardice.
Finally, a
comment that will enrage the beautiful people. The whole world is
rightly overwrought and crazed with grief over the murder of twenty totally
innocent and blameless souls last Friday in
But Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promises to
kill every Jew in
Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge
killed roughly one third of all of its people, including children, from 1974 to
about 1977 — and it was U.S. policy to avoid doing anything to stop them —
because they were opposed to the North Vietnamese Communists and Communist
Vietnam, which had just taken over
God help us. Man is made of such
crooked stuff that it is impossible to set him straight, said a famous
philosopher. God help us.

"The
ruling class doesn't care about public safety. Having made it very difficult
for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with
no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our
guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that
it cannot be an honest mistake." - Sen. Malcolm Wallop

"By
calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' 'the
security of the nation,' and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,'
our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our
economy... The Second Amendment still remains an important declaration of our
basic civilian-military relationships in which every citizen must be ready to
participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second
Amendment will always be important." - John F. Kennedy
