But as for me and my house ...
UN Sculpture Reveals Intention Dear Congress, Do not believe for a moment that the battle is over! While background checks may help slightly, those who seek to engage in criminal activity do not obtain weapons through legal means. And, if they do not yet have a criminal record but intend to perpetrate a crime, the person obtains the weapon while still considered to be a law abiding citizen.

When Congress learns how to remove guns and other weapons from the criminals' hands alone, it will have done a noble deed. Any other legislation is corrupt at its core and empowers the government over the citizens it serves and is contrary to the ideals for which our nation is supposed to stand. Remember what Benjamin Franklin said, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." We will never be 'safe'. It is only an illusion. The government is using this illusion to empower itself over the citizens and it must cease, immediately! "Government is not reason, it is not eloquent, it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the people's liberty's teeth."
