47. A place where none of this touches - in other words, another fantasy. ROFL.

Oct 2015

There are some insignificant places that don't accomplish anything where little happens, but I would hardly hold those up as a model for a nation. More like hideouts where people can pretend.

The people here have guns because they know what kind of country they have built, and they are afraid.

Until you fix that, and the people give up their guns voluntarily, there will be no change. You will drive it underground and make it even more dangerous.

Prohibition has never worked.
