WOW.....now if we could only get current lawmakers to restore that right completely and throw out all other infringements we would be doing great!speedsix wrote:...Texas had it right...once...
The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of
himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it
from the State government. It is one of the "high powers"
delegated directly to the citizen, and 'is excepted out of
the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to
infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and
independent of the lawmaking power.
