On the cover of the New York Daily News was a picture of an American Marine wearing battle regalia in Iraq. The headline over it read: “No civilian should own this gun.” The editors of the Daily News, thinking themselves clever, asked: “Hey, NRA: This Marine served in Iraq and says assault rifles should be banned. Does that make him a gun-grabbing commie, too?” |

And before we had a story of a U. S. Navy SEAL saying the AR-15 is a great weapon for home defense .....
Both sides can hide behind a uniform, but the fact remains that (A.) military people are, like us civies, divided on these issues and -- more importantly -- (B.) The right to own and righteously use these firearms is an inalienable right and remains protected by the second amendment.
So ultimatly, the opinion of military personnel are not the judge of our rights; their opinions are neither more nor less important than ours. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
