A few months back I wrote a column entitled, "Guns don't kill people. Really?" My column usually will draw between 30 and 40 responses each week, some positive and some negative. The "Guns don't kill people," column kept me answering emails through much of the next week and beyond. Beginning today, I am going to write three columns that relate to the "gun" issue of The Second Amendment of the Constitution. The others will appear over the next couple of weeks. So, stay tuned. |

If he ever would read how the framers of the Bill of Rights put together the amendments he would not be making the stupid statements about the 2A. It was not added in, for the Fed!! But for the States! They did NOT want a strong Fed, they wanted strong States! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
