  998. Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

Failure to grasp this simple truth reveals that the "enlightened" among us who want to compromise, and develop "reasonable" further gun control laws are wearing blinders and living in darkness.--R.J.

  1014. And there’s a bassoon solo, by none other than The Guy Who Plays Bassoon on Leonard Nimoy’s “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” himself.

  1018. Having a realistic plan for what to do after a war is fought is as important, if not more important, to planning the strategy of a war than anything else. Without a realistic plan to rebuild the area (physical, economical, and the people’s mental/spiritual well being) in place for after the war, even if one achieves the objectives of the war, the people that one fought to protect and help will likely be in as bad, if not worse, shape after the war than before. Thus making any victory meaningless.--Jerry Sanders
