Teeth of the Constitution

"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

The Second Amendment is arguably the most important: it is the "teeth" of our Constitution.

As Thomas Jefferson said, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

    Milwaukee Common Council wants more gun control

    If you live in Milwaukee, give this post a read over at Boots and Sabers - it seems that the Milwaukee Common Council thinks that if they have more control over the guns law abiding citizens can/can't have they'll reduce crime committed by the criminal class.

    This type of reasoning never fails to amaze me. Anyway, my guess is they'll first disarm potential victims by banning handguns within the city limits. Once that is done, criminals will be able to work in a safe environment without the risk of getting shot on-the-job. That's the goal, right? A safer Milwaukee?
