Noteable Quote 06-11-08
From America’s First Freedom, March 2008, an article called “Free Right to Carry: Truth Wins More Allies”:
As I have said before, a life of fear is what our opponents have chosen. They harbor fear of change, fear of the unknown and the strangest of all – fear of their fellow citizens and neighbors. Those who choose to exercise the basic right of self-defense have chosen a life of confidence.
--Chris Cox
In talking to people who tend to shy away from firearms, I have found truth in this statement. The predominant theme seems to be something along the lines of, "I can't be trusted with a firearm, so maybe no one should be". What a burden it must be to live under such self-oppression.

Not that I am one to put a great deal of stock in psychobabble, but at least one shrink out there agrees with Mr. Cox as well.
And, yes, I can add my own anecdotal evidence to the mix as well, in that all of the hoplophobes and anti-gun folks I have spoken to fall under the same category as yours, Shane.
I can understand them living under that kind of self-oppression, honestly... people need to recognize and understand their own limits, after all. But the second they start trying to foist those limits on me... Nope, all bets are off.
