"I read Britt Towery's column Friday, 'Another look at the 1700s 'right to bear arms,' and was a little surprised to see what he thought. I am not some crazy gun-toting nut. I have spent 31 years in law enforcement."
"The Second Amendment is pretty straightforward. It seems that the last phrasing is what is in question. 'The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed' seems clear to me.
"As for the National Rifle Association, I have been a life member since 1967 and am proud of that fact.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
