Del. Tommy Wright from rural Southside was reported in the Feb. 19’s article “No hint of bipartisanship on gun legislation” to have said: It’s senseless. My heart goes out. But when it comes to the constitutional right to defend yourself and your family, that’s something that’s guaranteed.” He was commenting on the shooting with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle at the Florida high school.
When I raised the issue of gun violence with my own Roanoke city delegate, his response was “I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.” What does that mean and was Del. Wright’s statement correct? |

What does "shall not be infringed" mean? The founders desired that the people be as well armed as the army. Now we're lucky we can keep our bolt actions, lever actions and pump shotties. 'Cause, you know, they're HUNTING GUNS. The 2A was NEVER ABOUT HUNTING. It was about pols. like Tommy Wright. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
...If a man lies under oath or procures the lie of another under oath, if he perjures himself or suborns perjury, he is guilty under the statute law. Under the higher law, under the great law of morality and righteousness, he is precisely as guilty if, instead of lying in a court, he lies in a newspaper or on the stump; and in all probability, the evil effects of his conduct are infinitely more widespread and more pernicious. — Teddy Roosevelt - May 12, 1900 |
