In the past thirty or so years, the academy has replaced the church as the center of the liberal moral imagination, providing the sense of a community bound by ethics, a firmament of texts and knowledge that should inform action, and a meeting space for like-minded people.

Gun ownership should carry the weight of duty, not just the thrill of entitlement. The Second Amendment was written for a very specific reason. Responsibility must again become the companion of freedom.
