"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms....

Yep... Democrats of OLD are MUCH different than the Democrats of modern-day. I really wish all the farmers here in Wisconsin would realize that!!! * Smacks self on forehead * I don’t think that many of them realize that the Democrat Party has strayed so far from their OLD ways... (Thank the socialists for that!!!).
