On the anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, when we will no doubt pause to reflect on another tragic attack on our country, there should be no enemy among us. We were attacked from within; Timothy McVeigh may have wanted revenge, but on that day, he was the enemy.
We honestly do not believe that those who organized the “Restore the Constitution” rally wanted to offend those who view this date as one of the most tragic in our history. They are not trampling on the loved ones’ grief. In fact, this date holds great significance in American history — on April 19, 1775, the “shot heard ‘round the world” started the American Revolution.
There is significance to the date. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
