No Debate

Brian Williams: "Good evening. As long as there have been firearms and for as long as there's been a Constitution of the United States, there's been a debate in this country over the definition of the right to bear arms. [More]
That's simply not true, Brian.

From my March 2007 GUNS Magazine review of "In Search of the Second Amendment":
The historical evidence is conclusive. The Second Amendment was intended to express an individual right, and any alternate “collective rights” theories are modern fictions developed by those with an agenda to control guns. In the words of Sanford Levinson from the University of Texas, this “view was virtually unknown before the 1960s.”
Look, it's nice that NBC apparently gave this story more coverage than rivals ABC and CBS (which according to the title-linked article pulled an LA Times evasion), but it's important that that coverage be accurate.

This provides the perfect reasoning for all concerned with our Right. To stay in the fight, and throw as many well=placed punches as we humanly can. The losers know that they are wrong. They employ deliberate falsehood to further their schemes. The only way to balle the false is with the TRUTH.

Just got the DVD, and it is EXCELLENT!!! Finally, all the pro-2A arguments that I need are in one easy to reference source!

And yes, the lies and the artificial debate about the 2A are recent developments, starting just about the time we started having the trouble with Communists infiltrating our gov't and education system.
