Don’t Give them an Inch.

Have you ever told that you need to compromise? That you’re an extremist? That you should allow some gun control?

Well, Reason published a brilliant column justifying your views:

“Back in 1976, Pete Shields, chairman of what is today the Brady Campaign, candidly laid out the blueprint for The New Yorker:

We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”

So when you hear the gun haters talk about gun safety, about reasonable restrictions, about “the children,” you know they’re full of it.
