Actually, it is England that we should thank for our Bill of Rights. When King George insisted on quartering his troops in private homes, and, taking away firearms etc. we reacted way in the other direction. Uncle J. I AM A LIBERAL, and what we have against the NRA is its LIES! and its fear of ANY reasonable gun control law. I own a gun, and you bet your ass I would use it to defend my life or someone elses. However, if I caught someone stealing my stuff, there is no way I would put his life on the same level as my stuff. That's ridiculous.

Anyway, our so called "right to keep and bear arms" comes not from the Bill of rights, but from a strong gun lobby and a gutless congress.

A WELL REGULATED MILITIA...thats the part the gun nuts dont ever quote.
