SB1 (2023) - Criminal Law - Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting Firearms - Restrictions (Gun Safety Act of 2023)

[Occam]

Am I the only one with a heavy heart about this becoming law several days from now?

Shakespeare wrote the definitive pep talk about feeling set upon, outnumbered, and pessimistic in the face of opposition. Henry V, as conjured up by The Bard in the moments before England's remarkable and unlooked-for triumph over the assembled might of French knighthood on their home turf in Agincourt, responded to someone's comment about wishing their side had more people from back home:

King Henry V: What’s he that wishes so?
My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin:
If we are mark’d to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England:
God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for convoy put into his purse:
We would not die in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember’d;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

And of course the definitive performance thereof, by Branagh, which always starts to get me about half way through:

I am optimistic about the lawsuit.

I am optimistic about the eventual outcome of the lawsuit .

The Injunction is of concern .

 

[eruby]

500 internets awarded!

The fewer men, the greater share of honour.

Aye, we few . . .

Yep.

Indeed. This stuff needs to move much faster. There should be a 30 or 45 day maximum timeframe

Not to sidetrack but was listening to a podcast on Shakespeare last week and had no idea there’s so much controversy around him and how he may even have not been a real person.

This 100%.

MGA has done nothing but bred contempt for themselves and their tyranny.

Since we're sidetracked: there really is zero (honest) debate about whether he was a real person. The parlor game controversy is whether he personally was the author of most, any, or all of the works attributed to him. The overwhelming share of the evidence is that it was him, and he done it. There are some very entertaining theories pointing to one aristocrat or another using him as a publishing puppet, but those don't really hold up under scrutiny. BTW, for any who like his work and are familiar at least in passing with a fair share of it, "Shakespeare In Love" is a very entertaining watch.

For you bardolaters, I highly recommend "Shakespeare The Invention of the Human" by Harold Bloom.

True I should’ve more clear that he was THE real person and it was not a group (including William Shakespeare) of people.

Exactly.

We’ve made them show themselves to be the monstrous authoritarians we’ve always said they were.

We will ultimately win the day, and they deserve everything coming their way.

Bacon wrote Shakespeare and everybody loves bacon.

 

[motorcoachdoug]

Can we please get back on track and why not start a threat called Shakespeare??

Many people would rather believe in aliens than believe others to be vastly more talented than their peers.
