Two things you should read, if you haven't already

First at Kevin's, on Personal Sovereignty:
It is, in fact, the polar opposite of statism. It is the thing that statists fear above all - a population that won't do as it's told by it's betters.

And second at Alphecca, more BS and calls for bans/restrictions/licensing based on flawed research:
Helmke conveniently leaves out the fact that Hemenway's "research" and book was funded by George Soros, the billionaire who has financed anti-gun initiatives and causes for years. No conflict of interest there, huh?

Both good stuff.
