I reference “heads in sand” quite often regarding information security but no subject better summarizes this concept than people’s willingness to let the government tell them when and where they can defend themselves and their families from criminal thugs. This graphic (source unknown) says it all:
Ask anyone who’s against self-defense, personal responsibility, and free will if they’d consider putting a sign in their yard or on their door that says “This is a gun-free home” and watch their response. Complete and utter idiocy.
The politicians are going to get what they want…eventually. And one day, Americans will wake up and say “What happened!?”.
Heads in sand indeed.
