Whistle Stop: I would never advocate that anyone should walk down the streets with hand grenades, or machine guns. Actually, I believe that in order to own a machine gun one must have a federal permit of some kind.

If, however, the Constitution restricts ownership of firearms to potential members of a militia, why is it possible in so many states to legally carry concealed weapons (guns)? One would have to know that someone by now would have challenged those laws in the courts if there was a chance at winning.

What about Charlton Heston, anyway???? Think he would be a worthy opponent for George W.? Wayne LaPierrer (sp)could be V.P. candidate!
