"I recently suggested that the National Rifle Association might consider supporting free speech in exchange for anti-gun people like me laying off their hallowed right to bear arms."
"On that subject Matthew Hunter wrote: 'The NRA has led the fight against the unconstitutional Campaign Finance Reform Act, including court challenges. Now it's your turn. Where were you when the assault weapons ban passed and during the fight to block its renewal? Did you oppose the .50-caliber rifle ban in California? (Note: He's talking about a sniper cannon here). Have you written in opposition to the proposed handgun ban in San Francisco? What about supporting the right of firearms manufacturers to sell a legal product according to the law? Why haven't you written an expose about the absurd process of buying a hunting rifle in Washington, D.C.?'" |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
