Ne...(I wrote this letter to the editor in 1993)<br /> Newspaper editors are not the only ones who hate the NRA and love Sarah Brady.<br /> Mr. Arrogant Scumm, recently paroled from prison, likes gun control. He says people should not be allowed to own guns at all. He is a realist. He knows that an anti-gun law is an anti-self-defence law. Mr Scumm does not have a dull job, Sears charge account and a 30 year mortgage. He takes what he wants from the old, the weak, the timid. He prefers them unarmed, scared to death and eager to please.<br /> In prison Mr Scumm ate well, got plenty of rest, and developed powerful muscles lifting weights. Psychologists tried earnestly to help him. They succeeded. Mr Scumm embraced rehabilitation with religious fervour. He was a model prisoner and got early parole.<br /> Soon Mr Scumm will burglarize the home of an elderly widow, rape and murder her, help himself to money and her late husband's guns and be on his way to high adventure. When Mr Scumm is arrested again the police must use gentlemanly restraint. Judge William Wayne Justice and I insist. Mr Scumm has rights.<br /> You say that it is not entirely Mr Scumm's fault? You are right. As a stupid parent allows his child to be a brat, society stupidly allows Mr Scumm to get away with it. We know what he is. We not only let him live, we keep letting him out again to do his thing. Parole from prison is like Spring Break.<br /> We have one million people in prison. That costs $27,000,000 every day, $10,000,000,000 a year. It is only tax money. Don't worry. Be happy.<br /> We fight crime by raising taxes, spending billions to build new prisons, and hiring psychologists. Editors bleat for more gun laws. Sarah Brady and Ted Kennedy are thrilled to be of service. Crime marches on.<br /> How do other countries fight crime? In Arabia thieves have their hands chopped off; and rapists and murderers are beheaded in public. During the recent Gulf War it was officially announced that anyone threatening the security of the Kingdom of Arabia would be executed, or have one hand and one leg chopped off. So far as I know not one person was willing to threaten the security of the Kingdom.vladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434296343159953900noreply@blogger.com
