The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it "shall not be infringed."”

Those who took science further in the West were also mostly religious people for a long period of time.”

It is my hat, stick and cane. It embodies my freedom as a citizen and my right as a democrat. My car is my soul in flight.”
