Quote of the Day – Cultural Conflict Edition

In response to this question over at Quora.com:

How many victims of a mass shooting would there have to be before an actual discussion of gun laws would be an appropriate reaction?

Comes this answer I wish I’d written myself:

When the number of gun deaths approaches the number of deaths by abortion, then gun owners will take anti-gun people as seriously as pro-choice people take pro-life people. Which is to say, not much.

This is Why We Live in a Constitutional Republic

So Hillary comes out and says:

…we cannot let a minority of people — and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people — hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people.

She’s speaking about the right to arms, but it really doesn’t matter.

Why do we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights?

TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL – the smallest minority there is.

The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals…. It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of. — Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789.

The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections. – West Virginia v Barnette (1943)

We already knew that Hillary was a collectivist, but this is just the cherry on top.
