It'...It's more than nanny state stuff, Mo. It's truly disgusting political opportunism. Even worse are the party hacks that come out of the woodwork and just spew the talking points. The first group is doing despicable things. The second group is just useful idiots parroting their masters. <br /><br />Now we have to drop everything we're doing and go write/call our representatives to try and head off all of the stupid knee-jerk legislation that's being talked about. <br /><br />I like the idea of some sort of "control theory for dummies" class. Feedback loops can be taught intuitively. You always have the problems with prerequisites if you tried to teach a regular controls class for lawyers. Few of them have the tools to take a "real" class.<br /><br />I'm not allowed to carry where I work, and respect that as a condition of employment. The other few hours in a week, my EDC is an XD subcompact in 9, most often in a Crossbreed Supertuck. Sometimes in a Serpa.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-32541764898655299742011-01-12T13:31:39.954-05:002011-01-12T13:31:39.954-05:00I also chose the XD over the Glock.

The Smith & Wesson M&P pistols were still pretty new at the time I was in the market so I didn't get a chance to fondle one, and I'm afraid that if I handle one now it might accidentally follow me home. <br /><br />I've had the thought before that it would be beneficial to require every new lawmaker to attend a basic control systems course in which the concept of feedback is explained with nice diagrams and pictures. In fact, they should all have to attend it every term and not be allowed to introduce legislation or vote in session until they pass the course. That way they cannot (at least in good faith) claim ignorance and will have to fall back to a claim of either plain and simple stupidity or open tyranny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-79094755097033129432011-01-12T00:02:47.484-05:002011-01-12T00:02:47.484-05:00I resent the nanny state mentality that always fol...I resent the nanny state mentality that always follows this sort of tragedy. Your assessment and post is right on. Surrendering rights for the illusion of safety is folly. <br /><br />Sadly these actions and the unintended consequences that follow are quickly eroding our liberty much to rapidly. Everything from travel and privacy to speech and contact with our representatives. It is amazing what we will surrender to mad men.Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383840888620905503noreply@blogger.com
