D.C.'s Gun Showdown

Submitted by Alvin B. Hickox, Jan 18, 2008 11:11

If properly addressed the U.S. Government's official position towards armed citizens is good for it simply exposes their true contempt for WE THE PEOPLE. The only reason America has a 2nd Amendment is because it's founding fathers learned by bitter experience that no government can be trusted. .... nothing has changed.

Of course the U.S. Government does not wish to have D.C's firearm laws reversed, should one expect otherwise? You know, there is a reason HISTORY is taught in our schools. And, at home and abroad our world is full of tyrants, criminals and killers.....always has been, always will be.
