In that spirit, I decided to take careful aim and set my sights on providing a clear, thoughtful and well-researched resource on the subjects of firearms, criminal violence and personal defense. My intent is to present information in a historical context, supported by real-world data and free from the constant tide of senseless rhetoric that flows on both sides of these very critical issues. This site is based on a set of core beliefs, which will be explained and supported throughout this website.
Society can only stand on a foundation of education and personal responsibility.
Today we face as a nation a catastrophic lack of both, which contributes greatly to the problems of crime and violence. A law by itself is incapable of preventing an action. A law can only establish the punishment for committing a given act. It is absolutely impossible for any law to prevent acts of ignorance, or acts committed by those who don't care about the law. You cannot legislate intelligence or morality.
