by David Safier I had a regular commenter email me to say she hasn't been able to get a comment on the blog lately. Is anyone else having problems? If so, email me to let me know: safier@schooltales.net. Be specific about what's happening. If there's a problem, we'll try to fix it.

We have been over this before:
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images. . . Thou shalt

Those who have made religious idols of guns and treat them as if they
are holy relics ought to reread the first two Commandments. And then
there are those who have a psycho-sexual fetish for guns. That is
disturbing on many levels.
Arizona Daily Star editor Sarah Garrecht Gassen responded to
the gun idolatry and fetish crowd who insist that no gun may ever be
destroyed in an op-ed, Gun owners have the right to destroy weapon if they choose.
Now the "happiness is a warm gun" worshipers/fetishists are at the state capitol seeking to prevent the right of individuals to destroy their own firearms if they choose. They seek to make the secular sacred by force of state law. In doing so they seek to use the power of "Big Brother" government to trample the rights of individuals to do with their private property as they see fit, which these groups comically pretend to defend. And they violate the establishment clause of the First Amendment by making the foundation of their idolatrous religion a sacred religious icon or holy relic that cannot be destroyed, by force of state law. Their idolatrous gun worship is elevated to a state religion.
