“It’s freedom for a certain kind of person who sees every man as an island, with some islands more volcanic than others, and fancies himself ready to withstand any nearby island’s eruption. It’s freedom for the pessimist who believes the best about himself and the worst about others, who believes it’s a jungle out there, and consequently endeavors to make the out-there especially jungly. It is the freedom to fulfill a self-perpetuating prophecy of violence. It is the freedom to be a corpse-making misanthrope. And it is increasingly the American way.” – Adam Weinstein, It’s Really Hard to Stop a Bad Guy With a Gun License [via fortressamerica.com] [h/t JA]
