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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
