If you ever have the gall to call yourself a defender of our personal liberties, I suggest people quote this fragment back to you.
I do indeed have such gall.
Quote away. I am proud of most of my statements, including that one.

I'm not against thinking before shooting.
Of course, if the threat is both grave enough and imminent enough, it may be imperative to shoot quickly. But it is good to be wise in one's shooting decisions.
We shud all consider the wisdom of establishing more
public archery ranges and gunnery ranges, to enhance accuracy
in the populace, from the earliest possible ages; public spirited politicians
shud be required by ethics to hold the targets for the rest of us.
Instead of taxes based upon extortion, as we have now,
government instead being financed by a citizen paying $1 for each
arrow or gunshot at the target that the mayor or a councilman holds.
Is that a better means of government finance?
Fire all the tax collectors, to save money on their pay.
Can we be willing to innovate ?
Its only fair and it may have a salubrious effect upon
government interference with the Individual citizen.
It wud probably be more fun, too. Don 't u think ?
We shud be willing to think outside the box.
