In response to a series of school shootings across the country, the Kingston Common Council may be taking action to garner federal and state support for more stringent safety protocols regarding firearms. Alderman Reynolds Scott-Childress, who authored the local memorializing resolution, said although the spirit is to promote a broad range of anti-gun violence efforts, there are specific details he would like to see state and federal officials tackle. |

The Supreme Court in US. v. Miller said that there are certain weapons that are protected, namely, arms in common use that specifically have militia utility.
And you can't get beyond that barrier.
Period. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
