    1. @ NFO. From Thomas Sowell.

      The gun control crusade today is like the Prohibition crusade 100 years ago. It is a shared zealotry that binds the self-righteous know-it-alls in a warm fellowship of those who see themselves as fighting on the side of the angels against the forces of evil. It is a lofty role that they are not about to give up for anything so mundane as facts – or even the lives of other people.

    3. It is Sowell who is correct. I've had those thoughts, but not the skill to put them into those effective words.
