AZAK,

My position is (and always has been) that moral, responsible people will step up & get the training they need, whether or not the state requires it.

If anyone could convince me otherwise, you've done a damn good job of coming close.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. -- John Adams

A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue. -- Jean Jacques Rousseau

If you are not free to choose wrongly and irresponsibly, you are not free at all. -- Jacob Hornberger

There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you please unless it causes others harm. With it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. -- P.J. O'Rourke
