The turning away from normal gun culture led by the former leader of normal gun culture, the NRA, began as recently as the 1970s. The 1977 annual convention, which became known as “The Cincinnati Revolution,” elected new leadership that was primarily concerned about Second Amendment rights. For these people and their followers, the ownership of guns became closely identified with their personal identity. In particular, they felt personally threatened and fearful that their guns would be limited or even all of them taken away by an oppressive authority. |

| This pin head is wrong on so many levels it is impossible to respond but: Keep-I own it and you can't have it. Bear-I have it right here on me and its loaded. Right of the people- all citizens. |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
