Don Bird Continues Unique Battle

by Brian Puckett
President, Citizens of America

February 21, 2002

KeepAndBearArms.com — Don Bird filed a lawsuit in California to regain the free exercise of his right to keep and bear arms. KABA has reported on Mr. Bird's Second Amendment lawsuit against the Governor of California in two previous articles:

Mr. Bird's battle continues with his request that governor Gray Davis be issued a writ of mandamus, which is a court order forcing the governor to admit that Mr. Bird — and thus all other Californians — has an individual right to keep and bear arms.

As noted in the earlier reports, in response to Mr. Bird's previously filed documents, California governor Gray Davis claims,

  • "That is, Plaintiff [Mr. Bird] has no legally recognized right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution."
  • "...the Constitution does not provide a private right to bear arms."
  • "...the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of a weapon by a private citizen."

If this outrages you, then Mr. Bird would like you to stand with him in at 10 AM on Thursday, February 21, in the Federal Court Building (Dept. 24, 8th Floor, 501 I Street) Sacramento, California.

Don has carried on this fight virtually alone, with but little help from pro-gun rights attorneys, because he's an outstanding man and an outstanding American patriot.

If you can't be there with him in person, an email of encouragement can be sent to him at patriot@rtr.net.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822)
