Kim DiScala’s letter titled “Government is taking away our constitutional rights” in the Dec. 19-20 edition of the Star is virtually devoid of facts.
She asserts that “It’s not a privilege to own a firearm, it is a right ... without restriction or stipulation, that is not to be infringed.” While throughout our country’s history, the Second Amendment has provoked much debate and controversy, there was virtually no clear resolution by the courts what rights exactly the amendment protects before our era. |

| It's ONE sentence. It's meaning is CLEAR. I'm sorry to all the linguini livered loonies who insist on over-thinking it and thus turned 1st grade math into quantum string theory, but it really is pretty straight forward. |

"[T]here was virtually no clear resolution by the courts what rights exactly the amendment protects before our era."
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose.' This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." -- U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875)

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
