The real protectors of freedom
Sierra Times
by Lee R. Shelton IV
"Our framers decided that the natural right of each individual to own weapons, and to form a militia with his neighbors, was the best guarantor of freedom. Further, there is no provision in the Constitution for a permanent, standing army--to the contrary, the framers considered a standing army a constant threat to liberty. That was the essence of the Second Amendment which recognizes the importance of the militia--a reference to all able-bodied males who owned guns--and the right of Americans to keep and bear arms. In short, a well-armed citizenry is more important than any army when it comes to the defense of liberty. For proof of this, look no further than the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The most powerful military in the history of civilization was unable to prevent the hijacking of four commercial airliners. One or two guns on each of those planes, however, could have saved 3,000 lives. And yet we continue to think that a Second Generation military is key to winning a Fourth Generation war. Are you serious about protecting freedom? Do you want to do what you can for the preservation of liberty? Mr. Edmonds has some advice: "Own a high-powered rifle, and know how to use it safely and responsibly. Educate yourself and your friends about the dangers of forcible government." It is that "forcible government" that has been systematically disarming Americans over the years while at the same time taking more power for itself. " (07/30/05)

Vermont: SWAT team raids home after man shoots invader
Champlain Channel 5 News
" A police SWAT team raided an apartment house after shots were fired Tuesday afternoon. .... Eyewitnesses said it all started when a man armed with a knife broke into the building and threatened one of the tenants. One woman -- who was inside the apartment at the time -- said the man refused to leave, so her ex-boyfriend shot him in self defense. The standoff that followed shut down several streets in the neighborhood while more than a dozen officers surrounded the building to search for weapons or shooters inside." (08/02/05)

Missouri: Carrier scares off assailants with gun
Kansas City Star
"A veteran contract carrier for The Kansas City Star parked close to the store at 5th Street and Troost Avenue like always early today. It meant a quick trip back to the safety of his van.But one of his four attackers, the biggest guy, was too quick for the carrier to drive away. The assailant and perhaps others in his group rained punches on the 66-year-old carrier through his driver-side window. He used a gun to fend them off, firing three times."
