From my cold dead hands: Gun control calls in the wake of the Texas church massacre

Claire Hawks  . . . "The first thing the Nazis did was to disarm the citizenry, making it so much easier to shoot and kill people or force people into death camps.  The Second Amendment is in the Bill of Rights specifically to allow the citizenry to rise up against a tyrannical government, just as Americans did against the tyrannical rule of the king during the American Revolution.

"More and more recently, it seems as though liberals are trying not only to limit our rights, but to rewrite and bury our history.  Ask most people about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, and you will usually be met with a blank stare.  All they know about Thomas Jefferson, it seems, is that he was a slave owner.  Now they have moved on to vilifying George Washington.

"Truthful American history should be part of the curriculum in not only high school, but college.  An additional requirement in college should be a basic class in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.  Hillsdale College not only has this requirement for all students matriculating at their college, but offers numerous free online courses as well." . . .

Dems and media rush to politicize Sutherland massacre   "Less than a week ago, when a Muslim winner of the absurd "Diversity Lottery" immigrant visa program committed jihad on a bicycle path on Lower Manhattan, Senator Chuck Schumer self-righteously warned us against rushing to politicize the incident.

I guess it's not too soon to politicize a tragedy.
