"The threats came at night."
"'They would call and say, 'Is your husband getting his name off that petition?' I'd say no and they'd say 'We're coming to get you tonight,' said Lucile Hunter 'I'd say, 'You'd better bring enough to take care of us.'"
"Now, more than 40 years later, the wife of the Rev. J.D. Hunter - a member of the Courageous Eight-is older and physically, she appears frail. But that's just appearances.

| Markht is right on the money. A government that trusts us with our guns and respects the Bill of Rights has no need to fear our guns. A government that fears our guns and tries to take them will find its fear justified. But it will not recognize that its own actions give rise to the reason for that fear. |
