Anti-gun extremists, from Walla Walla to New York, need to remember one incontrovertible fact: Americans regard the Second Amendment as sacrosanct and inviolable, just like the First Amendment.
After dancing in fresh blood, anti-gun radicals are now demanding gun control to stop the mass shootings. There are mass shootings in Chicago, weekly, and Chicago has tough gun-control laws.
Vicious drug gangs, like MS-13, are responsible for a lot of these shootings, and many of its members are illegal immigrants.
So, what’s the far left’s solution? Give sanctuary to these violent criminals and blame the NRA for the gun violence. And the left wonders why Donald Trump was propelled to the White House. |

Good letter, Curtis, but you exhibit the same inadvertent carelessness demonstrated by so many 2A advocates.
The Constitution didn't 'give' us the right, the Founding Fathers didn't 'give' us the right, our CREATOR gave us the right.
This is not an insignificant point of semantics, it is the central premise of American liberty, the FIRST First Principle.
All rights and liberty are endowed by God, not by men, not even exemplars like our Founding Fathers.
If we don't remember that, if we don't insist on honoring that First Principle, then we have no basis for real, unalienable liberty. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
