On the cover of the New York Daily News was a picture of an American Marine wearing battle regalia in Iraq. The headline over it read: “No civilian should own this gun.” The editors of the Daily News, thinking themselves clever, asked: “Hey, NRA: This Marine served in Iraq and says assault rifles should be banned. Does that make him a gun-grabbing commie, too?” |

And before we had a story of a U. S. Navy SEAL saying the AR-15 is a great weapon for home defense .....
Both sides can hide behind a uniform, but the fact remains that (A.) military people are, like us civies, divided on these issues and -- more importantly -- (B.) The right to own and righteously use these firearms is an inalienable right and remains protected by the second amendment.
So ultimatly, the opinion of military personnel are not the judge of our rights; their opinions are neither more nor less important than ours. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
