"but we have to have something...that they will fear that we will use if they step out of line."

Quote of the Day


"We need to let those who will come in the future to represent us {know} that we are serious. The 2nd amendment means nothing unless those in power believe you would have no problem simply walking up and shooting them if they got too far out of line and stopped responding as representatives. It seems that we are unable to muster that belief in any of our representatives on a state or federal level, but we have to have something, something costly, something that they will fear that we will use if they step out of line."

-- From the April newsletter of the Benton County, Arkansas Republican Party.
