    | The would-be gun shop owner is a Marine Corps veteran: James Gates, 28 is getting his own support to open the shop and push back on the protest, from Arlington Falls Church Young Republicans. They’ve started a petition of their own:
 
 “NOVA Firearms, which plans to open the shop, is owned by Marine Corps veteran James “J.B.” Gates. Stand with J.B., the 2nd Amendment, and small business owners everywhere by signing the Arlington Falls Church Young Republicans’ petition of support below.”
 
 The GOP petition features an image of Uncle Sam with the slogan “We Want You to Support the Second Amendment.”

    | Someone should point out to Kapasouris that the "community was upset" in Arkansas in the '60s about blacks going to white schools. 
 Ah, so WHAT?

                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 |  |  |
