The Second Amendment is not about hunting deer or keeping a pistol in your nightstand. It is not about protecting oneself against common criminals. It is about preventing tyranny. The founders knew that unarmed citizens would never be able to overthrow a tyrannical government as they did. They envisioned government as a servant, not a master, of the American people...What? Nothing about his being a sportsman and enforcing existing gun laws? Well, gee, no wonder NRA management wanted to torpedo the guy...
The notion that the Second Amendment confers rights only upon organized state-run militias is preposterous; the amendment is meaningless unless it protects the gun rights of individuals.

Of course, it doesn't fit in with their political aspirations. For if the Second Amendment were restored as intended. There would be no use for the NRA's 'political' arm. And we all know how the NRA enjoys politics, (and the 'mammon' that goes along with it).
Ron Paul is the only one in Congress who actually believes the Constitution and the Bill of Rights mean what they say, and votes accordingly. Unfortunately, becausse he is the only one, he's pretty much regarded as a joke by the other Congresscritters.
well then RJ, let's get some more in there. There have to be some more out there looking to serve.
