Del. Tommy Wright from rural Southside was reported in the Feb. 19’s article “No hint of bipartisanship on gun legislation” to have said: It’s senseless. My heart goes out. But when it comes to the constitutional right to defend yourself and your family, that’s something that’s guaranteed.” He was commenting on the shooting with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle at the Florida high school.
When I raised the issue of gun violence with my own Roanoke city delegate, his response was “I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.” What does that mean and was Del. Wright’s statement correct? |

What does "shall not be infringed" mean? The founders desired that the people be as well armed as the army. Now we're lucky we can keep our bolt actions, lever actions and pump shotties. 'Cause, you know, they're HUNTING GUNS. The 2A was NEVER ABOUT HUNTING. It was about pols. like Tommy Wright. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
