Re: More gun control legislation in action

Lee, IIRC, seemed to think that giving true equality was all anyone, no
matter what race, needs to succeed.

Amost. I think that true equality is not something that is given, but is
something that can be taken away. I think it is all anyone, no matter what
race, gender, sexual persuasion, or whatever, deserves in trying to succeed.
It may, or may not, be enough to ensure success. Just as I believe in an
equal right to compete, I believe in an equal right to fail.

You, IIRC, seem to post regularly that without racial preferences or other
special treatment (reverse discrimination?), no minority
can get ahead.

I'm not so sure that I think Greg believes that. I do think that he
believes that those that have not succeeded in the past, deserve a better
chance at success than others. to succeed in the future. I don't agree. I
do think that he believes that those whose parents did not have the
advantages his, or mine had, deserve the advantage now. I don't agree with
that either.

I think we both believe that someone who has been unfairly disadvantaged,
personally, should be made whole, but I'll bet we disagree on who should be
responsible for doing so. My guess is that Greg believes we all should. I
believe the one that unfairly disadvantaged them should. Trying not to make
it sound like an entirely bad thing, Greg is much more of a socialist than I
am.
