COMPENDIUM OF THOMAS PAINE'S FIREARMS-RELATED PATCH POSTS

In a comment to a letter to Fairfield Patch, commenter Charlie asked:  

"T Paine: Please do us the continuing favor of informing the public by aggregating ALL of your posts into one post and see if it can get put onto ALL of the patch pages, like the anti-gun opinions and letters seem to do. I'd go straight to the editors. It would be a fascinating experiment to see if they agree in "equal" coverage of the issue."

Well Charlie, I do not know what is involved in getting onto the front page nor onto all of the local Patches. I would suppose a “letter” might work or becoming a full-time contributor perhapds. However, any of those routes would likely require my providing my full and real name and that is something I cannot do at this time. As I have noted before, my kids have teachers who do not agree with the views I present here and I cannot jeopardize their academic success due to the small-minded who will take out on my kids their ire at the views of the parent.

So for Charlie and other readers, the following is a list of all the posts related to firearms and gun control that I have posted on the Patch over the past few weeks. I present them in more or less ascending chronological order.
