The line returns to mind today, though in slightly sinister reverse. The Supreme Court has decided to hear a Second Amendment case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett, about the constitutional rights of an individual to carry a handgun outside the home, against the claims of a long-standing New York state law (dating to 1913), which holds that you must demonstrate “proper cause” and get a concealed-carry license to do so. The law, scarcely radical, insures that you need a license to tote a lethal weapon under your coat, just as you need a license to drive a car. (The first New York driver’s license dates to 1910.) |

Face it, you lefty pig. You're a contrarian. The Constitution's text and history blow your assumptions out of the water, yet you persist. Now, *ahek* why IS that? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
