Classically Liberal: Total control of guns is total control of people

By Jim on April 26th, 2007

Excellent blog entry over at Classically Liberal. I totally agree!

When antigun activists talk about “total control” to stop guns that is precisely what they mean. They want the same kind of police state mentality created by the War on Drugs but bigger, better, more powerful, more deadly. They want a police state but a police state on steroids. Perhaps some don’t want that. I doubt when the War on Drugs started the supporters in the 1960s envisioned an America riddled with prisons, violent gangs with drug monopolies in the inner cities and innocent people being gunned down by paramilitary police squads. But that is the path they chose to follow. And if you get on a road that points to a police state then don’t be shocked when you wake up in a police state. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I am more and more impressed with that blog each time I read it. If you haven’t heard of it, check it out and be sure to put it on your bookmarks list. Some great stuff over there. Another great entry is Drugs & socialism: the more you succeed the more you fail.
