The Federalist: Founders' Daily Quote

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than anarmed man." --Cesare Beccaria.

I say, "Amen to that!" Please go to the NRA. See what the latest news is that will determine whether we, the people, have been endowed with our inalienable rights, or whether those are rights given by the government. If it is the first, then there should be NO gun laws. If it is the second, then ALL rights can and will be taken away, and we do not have a republic. You decide which is more important to you.
