“We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws.”-Tim Mueller, Linn County Sheriff
Read the rest of his letter here. Crook County Sheriff, Jim Hensley, said he sent the Obama administration a similar letter.
“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”-2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
Note that this amendment says nothing about hunting! It is totally about self defense! Arms refers to whatever hand carried weapon is the current weapon of choice by military forces, it is about civilians owning military weapons!!! That, and freedom of religion, is what made the United States so revolutionary!
The amendment can only be legally changed if a Constitutional Congress is held, which means writing a new bill of rights and a new constitution. It also means the United States we Constitutionalists know, and would like to have returned, will cease to exist.
