"Regarding 'Defending 2nd Amendment' (Point of View, Feb. 27): The statement is frequently made that the right to bear arms is a 'God-given right.' It’s the U.S. Constitution that grants us the right to keep and bear arms. ..."
-------
Submitter's Note: If that were true, the Amendment would read A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the people are granted the right to keep and bear Arms. |

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 |
