The 8th Senate District of Virginia Beach is exactly where tragedy struck on May 31st when a gunman killed 12 people in a mass shooting. Now, the question of what we as a society should do about guns has taken center stage in the upcoming election. Commercials are airing in the area with Democrat Missy Cotteer Smasal using images from the shooting and a soundbite from a survivor. There's also Republican incumbent Bill DeSteph's ad calling Cotter Smasal "shameful" for bringing the subject up.

What "we as a society should do about guns" is to respect the unalienable right and obey the Constitution.
That is everyone's DUTY as American citizens. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
