The issue is guns. There is nothing more threatening to the powerful elite than the fact that the common citizen is armed. Firearms represent a freedom and the ability to maintain that liberty when the government becomes abusive. Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American Peoples' Liberty,Teeth and Keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prarie wagon and citizens' Firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, Events, Occurrences and Tendencies prove that ,to ensure peace, security an happiness, The Rifle and Pistol are equally indespensible. Every corner of this land knows Firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that is good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour. George Washington
