Peter Hitchen "Why I demand the right to carry a gun"

#1 Post by morph007 »

Morning all,

It's amazing what you can randomly find on the interweb.

Now I'm not a fan of everything Peter writes but I agree with a lot of what he says in this
article. It was originally published in March 2003, so a while ago but it still makes a lot if
not even more sense with today's current anti-gun climate.

If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.

Good find, I have a lot of time for Hitchens most of the time he speaks that forgotten language 'common sense'.

In 1920, the government was also very nervous about events in Russia..............
