Hence, the moral outrage against legalized gambling is primarily a function of the extreme religious right wing. One of their most influential crusaders has been William Bennett, who affected a number of government policies from within the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administration. For instance, while serving as Bush’s drug czar, he suggested…

Incompatibilism and compatibilism are theories about the relationship between determinism and free will. Compatibilism is the idea that free will and determinism can coexist. Incompatibilists deny this by way of two theories; the denial of determinism (libertarianism) and the denial of free will. Determinism is the theory that every event was determined by a previous existing cause. Given the laws of nature and the initial state of the universe, there is only one possible course of history;…

(Mark Follman) Pro-gun control advocates think that if the laws were stricter these kinds of events could be stopped before they happen. As Molly Ivins says, “As a civil libertarian, I, of course, support the Second Amendment.
