It's not only dangerous, it undermines some social relationships and
attitudes that I consider to be important.


Now there is the bigest danger of the currnt liberal political

Think about what, Lew? You may have read that backwards. I'm strongly in
favor of the right to defend oneself with a gun. And as for social
relationships (I've expressed this here before, so apologies for the
repetition), my feeling about the 2nd Amendment is that it's our unique, if
sometimes symbolic, expression that the ultimate power belongs in the hands
of our citizens.

As for self-defense, my attitudes are similar to those written by Jeffrey
Snyder in "A Nation of Cowards." I'm in favor of it.
