“Recognising that an ostentatious cult of heroism and state service served an important propaganda function for the British elite does not mean, of course, that we should dismiss it as artificial or insincere. All aristocracies have a strong military tradition, and for many British patricians the protracted warfare of the period was a godsend. It gave them a job, and, more important, a purpose, an opportunity to carry out what they had been trained to do since childhood: ride horses, fire guns, exercise their undoubted physical courage and tell other people what to do.” PeopleShouldMeanDoeImportantStatesJobsPurposeCoursesOpportunityStrongFireChildhoodMilitaryPeriodsExerciseGunTraditionFunctionHorseBritishPropagandaElitesArtificialHeroismWarfareCultAristocracyBritish HistoryInsincereOstentatiousPhysical Courage Author:Linda Colley
“There's always someone kicking guns. We wanted ["Badlands"] to be a world without guns and bullets, where martial arts was the form of fighting and defense and attack. Martial arts is king in this world. That was the first thing. We didn't want it to be a period piece either. We felt those are overdone and stuffy. That was what lead us to explore that area of science fiction and future, a world we can create and control.” WorldWantFirstsArtWantedFormFightingFeltFictionPiecesThis WorldKingsPeriodsArt IsGunAreasScience FictionDefenseMartial ArtsBulletsKicking Author:Miles Millar

“If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of examples of criminal acts reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so after a century and a half of trying - that they must sweep under the rug the southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels in 1965-1976 - establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of gun laws to control serious crime.” IfsShouldTryingLongStatesFactsLawLevelsHalfCenturyCrimeExampleSeriousTypePeriodsGunShould HaveDifficultyCriminalsDrawingListsInevitableSouthernAmendmentsLegislationGun ControlSecond AmendmentRight To Bear ArmsBearing ArmsGun RightsSponsorsRights And FreedomsPro GunFounding Fathers Gun2 AmendmentFounding Fathers Second AmendmentAnti GunAmendment 1Gun LawGun Crime Author:Orrin Hatch
