:: The truth is, that most men want knowledge, not for itself, but for the superiority which knowledge confers ; and the means they employ to secure this superiority, are as wrong as the ultimate object, for no man can ever end with being superior, who will not begin with being inferior.

| quote = <!-- ⨀ <br /> --> According to new data just released by the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]], [[guns]] are the number one killer of [[children]] in the [[United States of America]]. The number one killer. More than car accidents. More than [[cancer]]. <br /> Over the last two decades, more school-aged children have died from guns than on-duty [[police]] officers and active-duty [[military]] combined. Think about that: more kids than on-duty cops killed by guns, more kids than soldiers killed by guns. <br /> For [[God]]’s sake, how much more are we willing to accept? How many more innocent American lives must be taken before we say “enough”? Enough.
