  6. Fast & Furious intended to increase “need” for gun control “I’ve been trying to think what rational explanation there could be for creating and doing Fast and Furious the way that they did it where they let these guns walk away. And I can’t come up with anything short of thinking that this was a political ploy to bring gun trafficking into Mexico into the news to support some sort of anti-firearm agenda. I’m not a big conspiracy theory person, but I can’t think of anything else.” -- Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX), July 13, 2011

  21. Alexis de Tocqueville

  22. Alexis de Tocqueville “In America the means that the authorities have at their disposal for the discovery of crimes and the arrest of criminals are few. A state police does not exist... “Yet I believe that in no country does crime more rarely elude punishment. The reason is that everyone conceives himself to be interested in furnishing evidence of the crime and in seizing the delinquent.

  23. Alexis de Tocqueville “During my stay in the United States I witnessed the spontaneous formation of committees [or posses] in a county for the pursuit and prosecution of a man who had committed a great crime. “In Europe a criminal is an unhappy man who is struggling for his life against the agents of power, while the people are merely a spectator of the conflict; in America he is looked upon as an enemy of the human race, and the whole of mankind is against him.” -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 2 vols. (New York: Vintage Books, 1945), 1:99.

  26. The Constitutional Recipe for Freedom • “The book that Mr. Pratt has written really challenged me in my beliefs like gun control [and] what the Constitution really means. I had never read it before, and being able to not only think about it but also [read it] definitely changed me.” -- Chad, Virginia • “The textbook is awesome, not dry at all, and very informative. I plan to take my copy to college with me to help refute all those unconstitutional and ‘politically correct’ happenings!” -- Ashley, California • “The most interesting thing I learned in Mr. Pratt’s government [book] was the limited power of congress. I thought the federal government could basically pass any law and the states would have to obey it, but after looking at the constitution we saw that the states have the authority to stand up to unconstitutional laws passed by congress.” -- Elizabeth, Virginia
