"Wearing a loose-fitting black shirt and with a 12-gauge shotgun at his side, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Timothy M. Kaine emerged from a rolling field with several fellow skeet shooters and a message for Virginia's rural voters."
"'I'm committed to not violating the Second Amendment or infringing upon the gun rights of law-abiding citizens,' Kaine, the lieutenant governor, said to a handful of supporters and local reporters who were on hand to watch him shoot. 'I'm committed to protecting that constitutional right to hunt and fish. . . . I value the traditions that Virginians value.'"
------- And yet, Kaine supports a ban on what he deems "assault" weapons and background checks at gun shows. Apparently limiting how Virginians exercise their right to keep and bear arms and forcing them to get government permission before they do so does not register on Mr. Kaine's radar as "infringement." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
