Just because it's true, doesn't make it right.  I've long been amazed
at the power a judge has to find someone in "contempt of court".  My
brother, when still a juvenile, had to go before a judge on a traffic
ticket.  The judge threatened to find him in contempt of court because
his shirt wasn't tucked in.

Governments that don't trust most people with weapons, deserve no trust.
