The turning away from normal gun culture led by the former leader of normal gun culture, the NRA, began as recently as the 1970s. The 1977 annual convention, which became known as “The Cincinnati Revolution,” elected new leadership that was primarily concerned about Second Amendment rights. For these people and their followers, the ownership of guns became closely identified with their personal identity. In particular, they felt personally threatened and fearful that their guns would be limited or even all of them taken away by an oppressive authority. |

| This pin head is wrong on so many levels it is impossible to respond but: Keep-I own it and you can't have it. Bear-I have it right here on me and its loaded. Right of the people- all citizens. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
