用在这上面，监狱里关N多万的吸毒，贩毒的人。每个学校都标为无毒区，今天效果怎
么样？我想大家心里都有答案。
很不幸现在又有人拿枪屠杀了，跟中国那个拿刀屠杀的一样，发生在小学，另人悲愤。
不少人喊着要禁枪，也有政客提议。但是禁枪或者更严格的关于枪支控制的法律，可以
看看今天禁毒的结果----要吸毒的人还是照样吸，贩毒的照样，甚至都贩到学校里面了
（如果你家里有孩子读中学或者大学可以问问看）。那么是否该跟禁毒一样，用更严格
法律来打击枪支？还是打击使用枪支罪犯？或许严格的打击使用枪击犯罪的法律会更有
效，比如任何被确定为使用枪支的犯罪，不管是抢劫，强奸，贩毒，杀人等等，都应该
立刻死刑，斩立决，效果或许会更好，至少会大大减少那些被捉多次又被放出来的。毕
竟，刀枪本身没有什么错，是拿刀枪的罪犯有错。
讽刺的是，大型枪击案件发生的地方绝大多数是禁枪区，比如学校，除了警察和罪犯，
其他人不能有枪。有人说，这些犯罪分子就是想自杀了或者是疯子想闹个大新闻，所以
才去这些地方。我觉得这些人其实都是很罪恶的懦夫，但是他们不傻，所以选择了禁枪
区。如果就是想死了，或者闹个大新闻，拿枪去警察局扫一通，效果不是更好，也显得
更男人？答案很明显，他们不敢，也不是傻子，知道自己在警局得手的机会，所以选泽
了做懦夫，枪杀没有反击能力的孩子。
人人都能随便买枪或许不是解决问题的最佳答案，但是从遵纪守法的公民手里拿去一切
可以反击的武器显然是每个犯罪分子和独裁者所喜闻乐见的。宪法修正案保证公民有拥
有枪支的权利，主要不是像电视所说的--是用来打猎或者自卫的。或许，主要是因为建
国者受够了当时英国政府的独裁统治，用枪支和生命“退出了”大英帝国对殖民地统治
和剥削，在殖民地创建了自己的国度—今天的美利坚。对他们，枪支的重要性不言而喻
，多次出现在讲话和文章里：
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason
for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last
resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" -- Thomas
Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, Historical
Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
"To disarm the people... was the best and most effectual way to enslave them
." -- George Mason, speech of June 14, 1788
"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil
interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good" --
George Washington
What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from
time to time that his people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them
take arms. -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Col. William S. Smith, 1787
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who
approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright
force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." --
Patrick Henry, speech of June 5 1788
The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered
as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong
moral check against usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will
generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the
people to resist and triumph over them." -- Supreme Court Justice Joseph
Story of the John Marshall Court
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government
from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of
them. ----Thomas Jefferson
最后，毛太祖也深知武器的重要：Every Communist must grasp the truth, '
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.' -- Mao Tse-tung, 1938,
inadvertently endorsing the Second Amendment. |
