"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." George Mason - Co-author of the Second Amendment during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788 We have looked at Second Amendment rights early on we are in agreement with Mr. Mason's statement. We like to bring this issue up for discussion when there is no "heat of the moment." Too often the debate springs up after a random nutjob opens fire into a crowd. Tighter gun control laws, or a gun ban, are called for by the left. The right usually counters with stamping its feet and demanding an absolute right to shoot squirrels with an AK-47. The left appears rational, and the right looks loony. They are both poses, not arguments - soundbites, not policy.
