About
This blog chronicles my opinions, experiences, news stories, and personal experiences in navigating the byzantine gun laws in the world today. I have my License To Carry Class A, Large Capacity in Massachusetts. This also involves a renewed learning curve of pistols, rifles, shotguns, and all of the details about the topic.
The name “Felons for Gun Control” comes from a bumper sticker I remember seeing as a kid. I never understood it, until now. For sake of clarity, my base premise is that gun control does nothing but limit legal rights to gun ownership. It does nothing to curb violence, reduce murder rates, or help reduce other nasty subjects attributed to gun ownership. If you are going to break the law with a firearm, you are not going to register it, get licensed, or even care about the gun laws.
The quote on the tag line is a paraphrase of
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” Thomas Jefferson
I believe this is also a repeat of Guy Fawkes quote to the same effect. The movie “V for Vendetta” is loosely based on the story of the Gunpowder Plot and Guy Fawkes.

Based on the name of the blog, I had thought you were talking about the Congressthings for Gun Control, but I guess that is still redundant.
Ha! Good call. I’d have to name it useless, inept convicts for america!
I’m just a random person who just popped up on your blog. I remember reading about a community out in the Midwest, where everyone was required by law to own a firearm. Surprisingly, crime rates were very low, because everyone knew that everyone else carried a firearm. Who in their right mind would try anything illegal if you knew everyone in that town carried a gun?
Well, http://felonsforguncontrol.wordpress.com/2007/04/20/kennesaw-ga/ is such a town, down south though, not in the mid west.
