Speaking of letters

Yesterday, there was another interesting letter.

Mr. Halls hits all of the Bradyites talking points about "assault weapons" at gun shows and "armor piercing" ammo on the internet. Of course no rant would be complete without the whole "founders couldn't know what technology we would have" crap.

His solution is to amend the 2nd Amendment. I guess he forgot to read the Heller and McDonald decisions. The SCOTUS, in the Heller and McDonald rulings clarified what the 2nd Amendment means. It means you will keep your hands off my guns, period. Do these people not understand the words "Right of the People" and "Shall no be Infringed"?

Even some of the comments spew the same tired old arguments. When I pointed out that true assault rifles are highly regulated under NFA34 and not available at gun shows, I got the typical Bradyite response. "But they are available on the street from criminals". Do tell. And just where are these fully automatic military rifles coming from? I haven't read about any armories being robbed.

The Bradyites just don't understand that they are losing. Gun sales are up with women being one of the fastest growing demographics. I even saw this story about a firearms instructor.

Actions speak volumes about a person, and that is why I’m impressed with Vicki Kawelmacher. Vicki is a firearms instructor in Reno, Nevada. She specializes in teaching women. She offers free classes to students who have a signed protective order. A protective order, also called a restraining order in some other states, means these students convinced a judge there is a serious threat to them or their children. These students need to learn self-defense right now.

Good for her and any other instructor that offers this.

As always, one of those dead guys with no clue said it best.

Who are the militia? are they not ourselves. Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American.
