A Congressperson who supports, really supports, civil rights
understands that the right to keep and bear arms is an
individual right to self-defense, self-determination and a
guarantee of political power.

It is a test, like a "little moron" joke is a test of
American citizenship. Americans understand the humor.


I dislike the fact that flying is being compared to gun ownership. I
see very little similarity. One is a mode of transportation, and the
other is a weapon. You can't assume that all pilots support gun
ownership, any more than you can expect all stamp collectors to be gun
supporters.

Freedom is not without its boundaries. A good example is airplane
noise. When neighbors start complaining about airplane noise, you have
to do something about it. Arguing with them about our freedom to fly is
not going to get you anywhere. We can't infringe on other peoples
freedom just because we like to fly. The same thing goes for guns.
