-Caveat Lector- Dear Brigade, Pat Buchanan: "The Second Amendment guarantees the individual right to own, possess, and use personal firearms, and as President I will ensure that this right is not compromised ... The gun-control lobby has long peddled the myth that gun ownership causes crime. But as we saw in Littleton, Colorado, where 19 gun and anti-explosive laws were violated in the massacre at Columbine High, additional legislation is not the answer. The urban barbarism that has turned our streets into battlegrounds and our classrooms into killing fields will not be stopped by an assault on the Second Amendment right of American gunowners to keep and bear arms .... Convicted felons should forfeit their right to own firearms, but sportsmen, hunters, and law-abiding Americans should be allowed to use guns for pleasure or personal or family safety. Private ownership of guns gives the citizens of this free republic the means to protect life, liberty and property and I will fully and faithfully protect that right. " GO PAT GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Congress is currently considering passage of additional unconstitutional gun "safety" laws. It remains to be seen how many more innocent people those laws will kill.
