The Roe v. Wade of Gun Rights
in response to reader comment: Reasonable Decision Likely

Submitted by A. Levy, Mar 16, 2008 00:57

The right to "bear arms" means exatly that, the right to carry a firearm. It does not mean the right to carry here, but not there, or there, but not here. That is limited freedom. It's like saying you have freedom of speech, but only on Thursdays and Tuesdays.

The American people are being totally ignored by their elected representitives and their government as a whole. Their country is being taken away from them by foreigners, and with the help of their own government. Their history, traditions, religious beliefs, and God-given rights, are being eliminated more each day. And thanks to the hideous virus known as "political correctness", their precious right to free speech is being seriously threatened ! Today, thanks to PC, you can hardly speak without "offending" someone. Be warned, they will not take much more!
