Kim DiScala’s letter titled “Government is taking away our constitutional rights” in the Dec. 19-20 edition of the Star is virtually devoid of facts.
She asserts that “It’s not a privilege to own a firearm, it is a right ... without restriction or stipulation, that is not to be infringed.” While throughout our country’s history, the Second Amendment has provoked much debate and controversy, there was virtually no clear resolution by the courts what rights exactly the amendment protects before our era. |

| It's ONE sentence. It's meaning is CLEAR. I'm sorry to all the linguini livered loonies who insist on over-thinking it and thus turned 1st grade math into quantum string theory, but it really is pretty straight forward. |

"[T]here was virtually no clear resolution by the courts what rights exactly the amendment protects before our era."
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose.' This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." -- U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875)

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
