Quote Of The Day

If Second Amendment rights were limited to those enrolled in a militia, "the purpose of this guaranty might be defeated altogether by the action or neglect to act of the government it was meant to hold in check. The meaning of the provision undoubtedly is, that the people, from whom the militia must be taken, shall have the right to keep and bear arms, and they need no permission or regulation of law for the purpose."

-- Thomas Cooley, noted 19th century American legal scholar
