I stumbled across this today and for the life of me I am unable to recall where. Within that document is contained the following quote: “... the right of the chase and of arms ...”, page 22. It is only 54 pages in length but well worth the read. I read it and believe me when I say I have a newfound appreciation for the common sense of the day. So much so my future behavior in my exercise of common sense will be modified backward in time a bit. http://www.davekopel.com/2A/LawRev/hk-coxe.htm#FN;F79
Yes, that is a good resource.
One of thee facts lost to most people is how it was once the law for every ablebodied male of militia age to won and maintain a firearm and/or other arms. You could not be a citizen with full voting rights until and unless you owned and maintained your personal weapons for militia duty. Perhaps we need to remind everyone of these laws andd end voting rights for anyone unwilling to keep and bear arms for the defense of the Republic. That might eliminate a good chunk of Liberal-Progreessive-Democrat-Communist votes not already coming from a graveyardd, seniors home, or thin air.
