"What about cases where a state is clearly attacking, even murdering, its own citizens? The libertarian would urge the citizens of that country, using their right to bear arms, to overthrow the despots. Notice that the right to bear arms...is the key to preventing and remedying such a state�s terrorism against its own citizens." --James Ostrowski, Attorney At Law |

John Harris of the Tennessee Firearms Association believes Brooks is not open about the subject. "Our theory on Henri Brooks is she doesn't like firearms, period." |

"In light of events that have happened in recent years like the Columbine tragedy and the shootings in Jonesboro, we need extra security at our schools," said Julie Johnson, a Greenbrook Elementary parent who spearheaded the effort to purchase the pup. |

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said that if Americans were asked to vote on creating a national identification card, he would probably cast his ballot against the idea.
"If you think it's a bad idea to have an identity card, persuade your fellow citizens through the amendment process, rather than asking courts to make policy," he said. |

The Air Transport Association, the lobbying arm of the major airlines, said they want the federal government to issue identification cards for air travelers. The cards would be voluntary for U.S. citizens who want to avoid most hassles at airport screening checkpoints but mandatory for aliens living and traveling in the United States.
But White House deputy press secretary Claire Buchan said, "That idea is not under consideration at this time." |

"...terrorists and criminals are able to buy guns at gun shows because there is no requirement for a background check," Americans for Gun Safety and Gun Violence Prevention Center of Utah said.
But Janalee Tobias, the head of Utah's Women Against Gun Control, decried the attempt to paint the proposed gun show legislation as an anti-terrorism measure.
"Shame on them for exploiting the most tragic event in American history, and using it for their political gain. I am so tired of the irrational gun haters dividing our community and our nation. Do they think one more gun law will stop terrorists?" |

The pro gun former President of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization of Women says:
"Those of us on the fringes, who rely on individual liberty, have got to make a choice to reject this idea that people with divergent opinions, even if we don't like them, have to be shut down."
"The left has told us that inside each one of us is a little Hitler � that if left to our own devices, we'd kill Jews, enslave blacks and throw women back into the dark ages." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. � Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. |
