It has been almost four years since a lone gunman walked into an elementary school in Sandy Hook, Conn., and slaughtered 26 people, mostly children. The facts are clear -- a deranged young man, after taking guns from his mother and murdering her, went to that school and riddled children and teachers with bullets. No one disputes the fact that since that day some 120,000 Americans have died from gunfire either from another person or self-inflicted. No one disputes the fact that since that day, over 250,000 people have been wounded by guns in America. No one disputes that since that day our nation’s Congress has failed pass a single piece of legislation to lessen the chance that it could happen again. |

| The more "gun control" laws, the more bloodshed there will be! |

| And would the attack even have taken place if a smattering of concerned staff were trained, armed, and prepared to defend their children? |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
