The quote references Ayn Rand&#8217;s masterpiece <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Ktaklp\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Atlas Shrugged<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In case you&#8217;re not sure if your braced AR pistol or your 80% gun build is legal, remember this passage from &#8220;Atlas Shrugged&#8221;&#8230;<\/p><p>&#8220;Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?&#8221; said Dr. Ferris. &#8220;We want them broken. You&#8217;d better get it straight that it&#8217;s not a bunch of boy scouts you&#8217;re up against &#8211; then you&#8217;ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We&#8217;re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you&#8217;d better get wise to it. There&#8217;s no way to rule innocent men. <strong>The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren&#8217;t enough criminals, one makes them.<\/strong> One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What&#8217;s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted &#8211; and you create a nation of law-breakers &#8211; and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that&#8217;s the system, Mr. Rearden, that&#8217;s the game, and once you understand it, you&#8217;ll be much easier to deal with.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The quote of the day comes from my friend David Cole who blogs at DeltaBravoCharlie.com.
