"James Clark likes to come to gun shows to meet good, friendly, law-abiding citizens."
" 'Nobody ever got shot at a gun show,' explained Clark."
"On Saturday he joined crowds at the SEMO Gun Show in Cape Girardeau."
"A cornucopia of supplies for sportsmen, the show includes guns, knives, ammunition, scopes, muzzle loaders, archery, sporting goods, safes and tools. It continues today from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m."
"Clark, a 37-year-old retired Gulf War veteran, learned a lot about weapons in the Army. At the gun show he toted three Sega hunting rifles on his back. Attached to one of the three semiautomatic rifles was a 10-by-12-inch placard listing specifics about the rifles and scopes he had for sale." |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
