#1 One more statement that the left will use against the hated John Ashcroft, but to us red staters seems to be from the Center for the Studies of the Completely Obvious(tm)!

#4 I am sure this will convince San Francisco's Board of Supervisors, being that they're all about civil rights and stuff.

#5 2b you are wrong. Have you not read the founding fathers?

The government does not grant rights. It can no more grant a right than it can cause my heart to beat and put breath into my lungs. Rights are inborn, the only thing the government can do is either enforce the preservation of the rights or prevent their free exercise. They can free me or they can kill me but the government did not create my life nor the rights I was born with. No judge except The Final Judge can take that away.

So its best stated:

Imagine that - the Government finally recognizes our natural right to bear arms!
