That’s like a single match out in the desert considering MA.
Neverdem: Thanks for a wonderful story.
And, thank you, Ms. Parente for your quick action.
May I offer one slight improvement? (And, I know this has been mentioned here before, but it should be mentioned wherever appropriate.)
If you have occasion in the future, I would use the word “preexisting” to describe the right to bear that you refer to as being incorporated in the 2d A.
That is because, importantly, it was a English common law right the settlers brought with them to the new world.
While there may be a discussion about what the framers intended with the language of the 2d, the framers were quite clear with their language in the 9th A.
Thanks, I was thing firelock was a synonym of matchlock.
P.S. translate your tag line, my Vietnamese is very, very rusty.
Great story!
So did I. That's why I checked.
P.S. translate your tag line, my Vietnamese is very, very rusty.
I'm sorry sweetheart.

OMG.
I hope this is brought up in front of SCOTUS when the time comes.
This is awesome.
Do you think these state libraries are always throwing these books away? This sounds like an important part of history, I can’t imagine they’re being dumped in th trash!!
Should we contact our state libraries?
Felons learning hard lesssons ("We confess...reservations about the concealed carry law.")
Permit or not, no concealed guns allowed in Georgetown County (SC, School District property)

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.
Thanks for the ping!
I can. What belongs in the dumpster is mostly 20th Century legislation.
lol
One of my prized possessions is a first edition book by Charles Lindberg titled “We”....about his life an flight to Paris where when he landed someone asked him if he was Lindberg and he said ...Oui !
But the title is We vs Oui......:o)
Found this book an many others in a box of trash headed for the burn barn when a old civil defense shelter was cleaned out.
Many other books collected in such a manner as in the frankfort arsenal set of explosives encyclopedias...an piles of old books from libary sales an auctions.
Another favorite is an old officers manual by Major Jas A. Moss, United States Army. Sixth Edition, revised in 1917.
It has handwriting in front cover that reads:
Property of E.M. Smiley.
Lots of Cavalry era tactics, gear, customs, courtesy, uniforms etc modified in 1917 with stuff like the use an carry of the 1911 sidearm.
Old books are gems of history in this era of cut an paste. Granted back then the editors an publishers could get away with such as well as the author if they wanted to yet IMO this was a time you got yer butt beat an run out of town if caught ln a lie.
Now they give liars the Nobel Peace Prize.
Its a crying shame that these books are being sent to landfills and burned! Yikes.
As well I sometimes feel guilty as these books were meant to be shared yet I am very careful with my own books be they fiction, non fiction or reference.
Not many will respect what they consider disposable today yet was an heirloom yesterday.
Stay safe....
I'm sure she'll be worth an appointment in the Palin Administration.
Liberal-think. Out with the old! In with the New! As in, "living Constitution" and "Planet Gore".
Mush for brains, what did you expect? The only ones on the Left who can think are the really nasty bad actors that study power-politics all the time and want millions to die in labor camps.
