"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to disarm them." Those words were written by George Mason who wrote Virginia's constitution, which was an inspiration for the Declaration of Independence (from Webster's Encyclopedia).
Local, seemingly fanatical, anti-gun "activists" favor taking legally owned firearms from the law-abiding. Their attacks on our gun rights need no introduction.
In a series of vitriolic, acerbic and sarcastic letters, replete with wild-eyed claims and repetitive, broken-record statements ("ban AR-15s, ban AR-15s, ban AR-15s, ban AR-15s"), gun control propagandists demand that modern sporting rifles, like the AR-15, be banned. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
