A leading national Second Amendment advocate may have cracked a code by suggesting that the gun prohibition lobby isn’t trying to erase the right to keep and bear arms, but rather they are attempting to nullify the amendment piecemeal via increasingly strict regulations, as noted in an Op-Ed he bylined recently in the Asheboro, N.C. Courier-Tribune.

Alan Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation continued that contention in a letter to the editor of the Seattle Times Tuesday morning.
“Gun prohibitionists,” he wrote, “simply want to nullify the Second Amendment by regulation.”

An altercation last month at a Dearborn bar might have ended tragically if not for a tip from a citizen, said Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad.

On Oct. 27, four suspects had just been involved in a bar fight, went home and may have planned to return, guns in hand, when they were pulled over by police at Jerome and Walwit streets, Haddad said.

“What’s really troubling about this is that when these four people were arrested, they were in two cars and had a young infant in the back seat,” Haddad said during a Monday press conference. “Next to the young infant was a guy with an AK-15.”

But “some real observant citizens found them on the street and could tell they were up to no good,” Haddad said.

The editorial also proposed an assault weapons ban; but the shooter did not have an assault weapon. The editorial, unintentionally or otherwise, ignored the central role of mental illness.

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967.
