During a meeting of the Democratic party's platform drafting committee Wednesday, committee member and businesswoman Bonnie Schaefer said that no one should be able to own a gun.
"I really don't personally think anyone should have a gun," Schaefer said after testimony by Lucia McBath, a spokeswoman for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. "That's just my own philosophy."
Schaefer, an executive appointed to the committee by Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, said that keeping guns from "mentally ill people and criminals" was not enough. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
