Controversy continues in the village of Constantine.
Weeks after people packed a village meeting, speaking out over the possibility of an assault rifle ban, another meeting wrapped up Monday night.
The meeting room was packed with people once again Monday, all standing up against any type of ban.
Tempers were high at tonight's Constantine Village Council meeting.
The hot topic: whether or not to ban assault rifles in the community.
"Everybody has the right to bear arms, that's all we're trying to do. And she's trying to take them away from us," said resident Phil Lockwood.

"Weiss says she's not calling for a ban on guns, but wanted to hear from her community."
This is commonly known as the "walk-back".
Translation: "When I proposed a ban on guns, I really wasn't calling for a ban on guns."
Huh?
Despicable. They should dump this witch as soon as possible. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
