It is amazing to me that most Americans have already forgotten the last time the Democrats were in power: we had federal officers dressed in commando outfits and armed with machineguns raiding the Waco religious compound, attacking Randy Weaver on a "possessing and selling a sawed-off shotgun" charge, and seizing a Cuban kid from his family at gunpoint.

The Democrats are the last people on earth to respect individual freedom or reject police excesses.

They know what most instictively understand: our right to be armed is our basic right as equal members of our own society. We are, in effect, members of our own government.

Those that will disarm us want us to have a status beneath our goverment.
