You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence. - Charles Austin Beard

EDITORIAL: The forgotten virtue of firearms - Washington Times

EDITORIAL: The forgotten virtue of firearms - Washington Times

An important detail that is neglected in news coverage is that all the multiple-victim public shootings in America - crimes in which more than three people were killed - happened where legal concealed handguns are banned. The Wytheville post office is such a gun-free zone, not to mention that the felon who committed the crime was banned from possessing a firearm anywhere. The Oklahoma City attack was stopped because the man who stopped it could carry a concealed handgun.

What a telling and haunting statement. Think of all the people that could be alive today if we were allowed our constitutional right to bear arms (shall not be infringed)!
