A massacre on an Oregon community college campus has claimed nine lives. A shootout in the New York borough of Brooklyn last month had bystanders diving for cover and led to the death of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's legal aide. Two television journalists were killed by a gunman while broadcasting in Virginia on August 28. These, and other, incidents — and the fact that murder rates are spiking in the United States after decades of decline — have put the issue of gun control back in the public spotlight. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
