"I wrote in Parts I and II that the repeal of all gun laws will: a) unwind many of the seemingly unrelated frauds and boondoggles which tyrannize all taxpayers, gun owner or not, and; b) will restore Independence from our public servants by a continual reminder of how little they are really needed, especially for anti-violence-based programs."
"The armed citizen fights tyranny not with a gun directly, but directly impeaches the need for programs which, themselves, tyrannize taxpayers as if they were needed. People are sold on the necessity for many costly programs because gun control has left a void of meeting crime head-on by America's fist line of defense, the target." ... |

"Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics show that in states with more gun control, Blacks are hindered from defending their lives, while Whites are not."
"After extracting civilian justifiable homicide data from the FBI Supplement Homicide reports for 2000-2007, there are clear inequities between Blacks and Whites in states which restrict the right of self-defense by not granting concealed carry permits to law-abiding citizens. Conversely, in right-to-carry (RTC) states–where law-abiding civilians carry concealed handguns in public–Blacks experienced above-average rates of justifiable homicide." ... |

"In response to Fedela Vincent (letter, Sept. 1):"
"It is continually disheartening to see citizens quote the Constitution without knowing how the courts have interpreted it, either recently or historically."
"First, Ms. Vincent incorrectly asserts that the 'states rights' interpretation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution is correct. It is not, as recent decisions in the D.C. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court have clearly stated that the 'individual rights' interpretation is the correct intention of the framers. So, the gentleman in the coffee shop has every right to wear a firearm on his person, without a permit, as long as it is exposed." ... |

"Louis Worby's Monday letter, 'Questioning 'rights' to guns in public setting,' seems to suggest that he fears people walking around with guns. I would like to remind him that these people that walk around with guns at health-care meetings may want to do so to protect not only themselves and family members, but the public at large, as well from any possible threat from someone bent on a mass shooting spree as evidenced several times in this country by some lunatic with an agenda of his own. I also suggest that these people just might be carrying them since they are permitted to by the Constitution."

"Lynn, a Kansas City, Missouri native and a sophomore at nearby Spelman College, was shot in the chest as she walked across the Clark-Atlanta University campus, an innocent victim of a dispute taking place nearby. All Americans should mourn the loss of this young woman and pray that this incident will be a spark that ignites widespread outrage, especially among Black Americans over the toll that guns are taking on their community." ...

"One of the comments left on this column wondered what kind of people walk around thinking about 'which weapon will most adequately dispose of another human life in case someone might threaten them'. I can answer that. It is the kind of person who plans for the unexpected. If you get a flat tire, it is no big deal because you carry a spare tire in the car. ... Carrying a gun is another point on that same continuum of being prepared to be responsible for your own safety and well-being, and that of your family. If you are accosted on the street, or caught up with several others in a convenience store robbery, being able to defend yourself and others is very important. Time is not rewindable - you have to plan ahead." ... |
