A few weeks ago, there was a rally at the Capitol to stand in solidarity for workers' rights. At the last minute, I was asked to bring my portable sound device so those in attendance could hear those who were speaking. I went through the security checkpoint and had it held back — it is not allowed in the Capitol. And that is fine. I’m sure there are good reasons for that rule; the folks working those entrances are there for a purpose and they were doing their jobs. |

Baloney. The very idea that vetted, licensed concealed-carry permit holders, the most law-abiding people statistically in the country (and that includes POLICE), will suddently go nuts over a controversial proposal and start capping people, is the height of irrational paranoia. |

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"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
