[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1409373, member: 103369"] 'Public safety' is an excuse, and it's always been an excuse. Control is the thing they are after. Control of your money, your beliefs, and your capacity for self-determination. Most leftist thought is based on the teachings of Saul Alinski, who summarized the directives of the early Bolsheviks in the USSR (people like Lenin, Trotsky, Bukharin and Preobrazhensky) in a book which he literally dedicated to satan. There is not much in there about Natural Rights and self-determination of the individual citizen, it's more geared toward the view that "safety" should be used as a slogan against liberty whenever a 'good' usable crisis occurs. On the contrary, our founding fathers consulted heavily with Beccaria's treatise 'On Crimes and Punishments' when discussing the concept of public safety before planning out our own Constitution. Here is a quote from it: [I]“False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that it has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are of such a nature. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” [/I] I know which side of the issue I fall in line with.
