A Single Issue Organization

"The single purpose of society, indeed, is to protect the individual, and to give him the strength of the public arm, in defence of his just and natural right." – John Witherspoon, The Druid, Article II, The Works of John Witherspoon, pg. 156 [Read]
It's not about guns, it's about freedom.

It is interesting that Witherspoon goes on to state that the over-application of inducing fear may not result in the intended heightened sense of fear but instead unintended rage which may overcome all measures made to induce fear - an aspect of "The Law of Unintended Consequences".
