If you oppose the passage of a federal law requiring background checks for gun buyers, you’re endangering police officers and empowering cop killers … and you’re not doing anything to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
In lieu of such a federal law, we have a hodgepodge of state rules, and in the South, where I grew up, they are often lax. And guns from those states, where weapons are easy for felons to buy, show up in states with tough guns laws, like New York, where they are tough to buy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. — Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States; With a Preliminary Review of the Constitutional History of the Colonies and States before the Adoption of the Constitution [Boston, 1833]. |
