“To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow… For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding.”

-Jeff Snyder, author American Handgunner

I had the honor and privelege of assisting my daughter through the delivery.  I’ve seen quite a few things in my 43 years of life, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen or will ever see anything as emotionally moving and as beautiful as my grandson being born!
