Mr. Security Agent (thought provoking)

Dear Mr. Security Agent,

Federal, state, or local. You, the man or woman with the badge, the sworn LEO or FLEA and those who inhabit the many law enforcement niches in between and on all sides. This essay is directed to you, because in the end, how this turmoil about gun control turns out will depend largely upon your decisions and actions over the coming months and years.

I sincerely wish that members of Congress—who may soon be voting on new gun control measures—would read this essay, but I realize that’s a pipe dream, considering the impenetrable bubbles around those exalted entities. So I’ll settle for you, Mr. (or Ms.) Security Agent, since you already gobble up everything on the internet, and I don’t have to seek you out.

A decade ago I wrote the novel Enemies Foreign and Domestic, a tale about how tragic events involving the misuse of firearms can be used by an evil administration to misinform and mold public opinion to support its malign anti-freedom policies.

Holy crap, too much to read. This is just like the silly Infowars stuff. Too much "stuff" thrown out that it is all jumbled into a mindless blabber that just gets ignored. It is not thought provoking, it is migraine inducing.

The author has given permisson to post the article any where, any place, any body wants.

I guess if one is only use to reading a paragraph or two for their infomation a few pages might seem migraine inducing.

Then I apologize, but please cite that.

ETA. The most I see is "For widespread distribution".

That is not the same as no copyright and if he wishes that he should license it as copyleft, creative commons, public domain or similar.

Without that (unless you are the copyright owner) the article should be summarized with a link to his page.

Thank you, that sentence is very clear, except I had to verify the comment poster to the original author.

If this was my site I would not have taken the time to verify my liability or lack thereof. The good new is this site is DMCA registered. Phew.
