Seems the Obama Admin. latest is an "encore performance" of the liberati - induced ban on "Saturday Night Specials". We all know how that turned out. Only poor individuals were "disarmed" - by economic hardship. And street cops faced criminals armed with better, more reliable, guns.
I - unlike most of the anti-gun crowd - accept others have the "right" to express their opinion on firearms ownership". But I must insist the AG's do not have "the right to their own facts" ! Surely, in the 21st century we have the technology and resources to secure and assemble accurate data on the misuse of firearms. And - I hope - the morality and ethics to address the issue with civility. So far restraint seems to be unilaterally pro-gun. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
