“After more than two decades of trying to destroy the firearms rights of more than 80 million law-abiding American gun owners - and statistically failing to show any impact on violent crime - the Brady 'Campaign Against Illegal Guns' is yet another crusade whose ultimate goal is to trample the Second Amendment into dust.” TryingTwoShowsLawGoalMillionsRightsFailingCrimeGunUltimateImpactDecadesCampaignsViolentDustOwnersIllegalAmendmentsAbidingSecond AmendmentFirearmsUltimate GoalCrusadesBradyGun OwnersViolent CrimesIllegal Guns Author:Alan Gottlieb
“The law, for all its failings, has a noble goal - to make the little bit of life that people can actually control more just. We can't end disease or natural disasters, but we can devise rules for our dealings with one another that fairly weigh the rights and needs of everyone, and which, therefore, reflect our best vision of ourselves.” PeopleNeedsLittlesEndsLawBitsGoalNaturalVisionRightsFailingDiseaseLittle BitNobleDisasterFairnessDealingsNatural Disaster Author:Scott Turow
“We are bound to maintain public liberty, and, by the example of our own systems, to convince the world that order and law, religion and morality, the rights of conscience, the rights of persons, and the rights of property, may all be preserved and secured, in the most perfect manner, by a government entirely and purely elective. If we fail in this, our disaster will be significant, and will furnish an argument, stronger than has yet been found, in support of those opinions which maintain that government can rest safely on nothing but power and coercion.” IfsWorldMayPersonsGovernmentLawOrderFoundPerfectLibertyOpinionSupportRightsFailingExampleMoralityConscienceArgumentStrongerPropertyBoundsDisasterSignificantVotingConvinceCoercionSecuredPerfect Man Book:A Discourse, Delivered at Plymouth, December 22, 1820: In Commemoration of the First Settlement of New-England Source: A Discourse, Delivered at Plymouth, December 22, 1820: In Commemoration of the First Settlement of New-England

“The communications revolution has given millions of people both a wider and more detailed understanding of the world. Because of technology, ordinary citizens enjoy access to information that formerly was available only to elites and nation-states. One consequence of this change is that citizens have become acutely conscious of environmental destruction, entrenched poverty, health catastrophes, human rights abuses, failing education systems, and escalating violence. Another consequence is that people possess powerful communication tools to coordinate efforts to attack those problems.” PeopleWorldHumansStatesProblemGivenNationsEnjoyUnderstandingPowerfulEffortEducationPovertyMillionsTechnologyRightsViolenceFailingInformationCommunicationRevolutionCitizensHealthyOrdinaryConsciousConsequenceToolsDestructionAbuseEnvironmentalHuman RightsAvailableAccessElitesCatastropheEducation SystemCoordinatesOrdinary CitizensAccess To InformationEscalatingEnvironmental Destruction Author:David Bornstein
