On the cover of the New York Daily News was a picture of an American Marine wearing battle regalia in Iraq. The headline over it read: “No civilian should own this gun.” The editors of the Daily News, thinking themselves clever, asked: “Hey, NRA: This Marine served in Iraq and says assault rifles should be banned. Does that make him a gun-grabbing commie, too?” |

And before we had a story of a U. S. Navy SEAL saying the AR-15 is a great weapon for home defense .....
Both sides can hide behind a uniform, but the fact remains that (A.) military people are, like us civies, divided on these issues and -- more importantly -- (B.) The right to own and righteously use these firearms is an inalienable right and remains protected by the second amendment.
So ultimatly, the opinion of military personnel are not the judge of our rights; their opinions are neither more nor less important than ours. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
