“can you explain to our readers why it is important that citizens should have the right to bear arms?”

IT IS A RIGHT GRANTED BY GOD THROUGH OUR CONSTITUTION! Nothing else matters... period!

Thanks for the post. Here's a couple more quotes.

The Framers wanted the ballot box backed up by the cartridge box.

And this exchange:

MW: What is happening with the appellate courts with this issue? Are they lagging behind, and if so, why?
DH: Yes, far behind. What happened was that the Supreme Court in 1939 came down with a rather muddled decision, Miller v. US, that seemed to say that there was an individual right, although it was limited to military or militia suitable guns. It involved a sawed-off shotgun, and the Supreme Court said the trial court had to take evidence on whether this was militia-suitable. Unfortunately the owner, a bank robber by trade, was murdered before the trial court could hold a hearing.

Bump.

“The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once”.
