"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence ... From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that is good" - George Washington

Welcome back mach1chris,

I hope it was our charm that brought you back (or maybe you just missed us), but it's good to have another fellow Miami fighter on this forum (whose insight has been exceedingly valuable throughout). We want you here to stay and continue to give us insight and your colleagues our thoughts.


Here's one from Our Professor himself, an ACLU civil lib who believes in the Entire bill of rights (I agree on almost all counts with him):

"(Those) who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right (are) courting disaster by encouraging others to use the same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like."

-- Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
--- Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1785. The Writings of Thomas Jefferson
