It's funny how so many folks who are up in arms over politicians saying you don't "need" a particular type of gun, or the ability to carry more than x number of rounds, are the same people willing to make lists of how much ammunition other people "need."

Can't have it both ways, guys.

Someone sent me a PM last night, saying that my earlier post ("unAmerican") was an insult. It really wasn't; it was just a statement of philosophic fact. Making a decision about what other people "need" -- and making judgments for them about whether their reasons for "needing" it are valid -- runs squarely against the ideals our form of government was founded upon.

I think a lot of the current angst is driven by the same dynamic that made The Grasshopper and The Ant such a powerful little children's story, years ago. But people don't tell that story to their kids anymore.
