"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. [...] the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible."

Hubert H. Humphrey

I wonder what the Vice President would say today about "which now appears remote".

I wonder if Hubert would be elected as a D today...he was a liberal, but today, he might be a right of center Dem...
