"You own too many guns."

"We don't think these are first-time buyers. We think they are people who already have more than enough guns at their homes to protect themselves and are buying more." -Peter Hamm, spokesman for the Brady Campaign against Gun Violence, speaking about the spike of gun purchases since the election of Barack Obama.

The Cook Account: Mr. Hamm’s statement illustrates his fundamental misunderstanding regarding the Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers did not write “the right to own one (or two) firearm(s).”

Does it bother Mr. Hamm if Americans purchase more guns than he believes they “need” to own? How many guns are “more than enough”? Two? One?

A gun with one bullet?

Well most of us cannot own 'too many guns' these days anyway...just can't afford it. That is like dating two girls at the same time, not wise for you or the wallet.

Hey Mr. Cook, I see you are using blogger like we are. I decided to do away with the NAV bar at the top of the page because it can take people to really bad blogs. Check this out if you want to do the same:

Great post! I really enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work.

I’ve just started a new blog that will be highlighting the dangerous advances of the secular progressive movement (pro-gay “rights”, pro-abortion, anti-religious freedoms, etc). Unfortunately, most Christians still don’t know what’s going on out there and the mainstream media certainly isn’t covering it.

We’re looking to build a solid group of social conservatives (especially Mike Huckabee supporters) who’ll frequent the site regularly and contribute to some good discussions. The site gets updated daily with breaking news, so you’ll want to check back often, or you can just sign up for our News Feed. I hope you’ll check it out!

If you’ll add us to your blogroll we’ll gladly add you to ours. Just drop us a comment over at our blog so that we’ll know to add you. Our blog is called Religion and Morality.

Thanks!
