Jim's Quote of the Day:
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things
worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to
encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with
greater confidence than an armed man.” - Commonplace Book by
Thomas Jefferson borrowing from Cesare Beccaria’s
1764 Dei delitti e delle pene ("On Crimes and Punishments")
