"Anyone listening to the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee public testimony for and against two Senate bills to allow the licensed concealed carrying of handguns at public colleges and the broader licensed open carrying of handguns Thursday must acknowledge that passionate, sometimes even rational arguments exist from all perspectives."
"One must admit some pretty stupid arguments also exist, mostly from obsessed gun activists, much to the chagrin of more grounded Second Amendment advocates. For instance, the right to carry a firearm is not 'god-given' but comes from the Second Amendment — unfortunately, the most ambiguous of the Bill of Rights." ... |

Actually, the right to self defense is a God given right. Even the liberals should understand that, however, it appears that a lot of them do not (example-formally great Britain). When you can be attacked by someone with a gun, the right to carry a firearm for self defense become a God given right. |

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"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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