Our Constitution gives each of us rights that the government cannot infringe on! Congressman Dan Newhouse has been a fierce protector of our Second Amendment rights in D.C., which is why he has been endorsed by the NRA. But once again we see our constitutional rights under attack, this time by initiative Initiative 1639. This initiative has no public safety value - it just threatens the rights of responsible gun owners. If one of our constitutional rights, like the right to bear arms, can be stripped so easily, the rest can be stripped just as easily. We must protect our constitutional rights! We must vote “no” on I-1639 and yes to re-elect Dan Newhouse. |

"Our Constitution gives each of us rights..."
Every time I read or hear this I feel like throwing up. This particular nugget of ignorance is widely prevalent in the U.S., and it is fundamentally (though not obviously) dangerous. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
