I would like to respond to Mr. Holcomb’s claim that I’m a right-wing fringe activist and that our Marquette County officials did the right thing.
Let me begin by saying that I, along with my father, all of my uncles and my son, also are veterans. As such we took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. An oath has no expiration date.
That being said, I do not see anywhere in the Constitution where I am guilty until proven innocent, or what kind of weapon I can or cannot use to defend myself and my family. |

"The fact that there are bad people in the world will not change by taking my rights away." - Probably one of the best LTEs I've ever read. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
