The citizen disarmament folks will count this as "the gun death of an innocent child."

14-year-old Newark boy killed had 30 bricks of heroin and loaded gun in his bedroom

As the reader who forwarded this to me commented: "Let's be 100% clear on this. A 14 y/o 'youth' with a solid history of of robbery and crack use, a loaded 9mm pistol, ammo, and 30 BRICKS OF HEROIN in HIS bedroom, was NOT a 'child.'"

NJ residents won't be seeing any of this on the metro area media , or reading it in Newark Star-Ledger either.

Paul X said...: Um, I am wondering at the responses here. Are we complaining about someone owning a gun, on a gun blog!? What is wrong with owning a gun? Everybody should have a gun.

Are we complaining about somebody owning heroin? Isn't that their business? If you don't like heroin, don't buy it. That was the way heroin was handled in this country prior to 1914 - before government decided to "take care" of our morals and our health. Was that old way such a bad way of doing things? Is personal responsibility a bad thing?

This kid died because he is operating in a black market. Black markets tend to be violent because the methods of adjudicating disputes are "ad hoc". The kid is operating in a black market because the government created it with drug prohibition. Drug prohibition is no more righteous or sensible than alcohol prohibition was.

It's true, he didn't have to operate in a black market; but when that is by far the most lucrative employment available, we shouldn't be surprised it happens. And let's not forget who teaches what these kids know or understand about right or wrong - the very same government that created the black market. Does the blame for this death sit solely on the kid? A strange way of looking at the world...; September 8, 2013 at 11:00 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
