For too long, the NRA has expended every drop of energy to its pathological demonization of gun control at every turn. Instead of that, and its disgusting meaningless lip service to gun violence victims every time we see another Sandy Hook, the NRA might take after Keene, act like human beings, and use its resources to start participating in some form of rational discussion. I won't hold my breath. |

| There is no such thing as rational discussion with gun banners! |

| NRA publications have posted many articles discussing the meaning of the second amendment. The PROBLEM here is not that the NRA, or other pro-rights organizations, have no definition of the amendment in question, the PROBLEM is that the anti-rights activists and their kin refuse to accept the plain meaning of the words and try to lie, by turning it into some mythical "collective right" by misinterpreting the first clause which mentions a "well-regulated militia." |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
