When traveling, I listen to talk radio and try to get a balanced diet from them all. Hanity, Rush, Beck and local programs. One day Glenn Beck was talking about a free book on his web site from the NRA. The book is "The Essential Second Amendment Guide" by Wayne LaPierre. I ordered mine in and was not disappointed. The book has quotes and even each States references in their constitutions.  

One of the best is...."The laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm those only who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes..Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man". --Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson and our founding fathers had it right. Those that are going to break the laws will get guns, and those that will obey the laws will just become victims.

I had spent the weekend teaching rifle, shotgun and axe throwing to a Boy Scout troop. The boys had a great time learning gun safety, shooting basics, and even what to do if they find a gun at their friends house. It is hard to even put words around the satisfaction and feeling of self worth that the boys felt when they would get groupings that you could be covered by a quarter. Some of the boys had never shot any type of gun before, and they were being encouraged by those that had been shooting before. We reminded the boys that we can teach them hunting and shooting skills only because of those that are fighting for our freedoms.

Our freedoms are under attack and will be taken away from us very slowly and in the name of the "Public Good". Glenn Beck is only one of those out there that is trying to help remind us that we cannot take our freedoms for granted, or they will be gone.
