Official sponsered anti gun propaganda???
This is from their website www.constitutioncenter.org search for "guns".
This is the new tourist center much touted in the press. A writer named Linda Monk has the job of translating the Constitution for those who can't read evidently-
"The American Revolution was fought by minutemen, ready with their guns at a moment’s notice. Early Americans believed that a militia, composed of citizen-soldiers, was a better safeguard of their liberties than a standing or permanent army. Today the militia consists of the National Guard, drilling in state units. Does the Second Amendment protect only the right of the states to have militias, or does it give individuals a right to bear arms for self-defense as well as national defense? That question is at the heart of the debate over the Second Amendment and gun control."
This is so far from historical truth it is just propaganda, please write and complain. By the way, where is the NRA????

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be lead to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Don, what do you and Dick think about doing that Mencken thing?
