Dear Editor: Scott Walker is endorsed with an A+ rating by the NRA; he will protect your Second Amendment Rights. He signed Wisconsin's "concealed carry" law, making it clear you can protect yourself in public, and the "castle doctrine" law, making it clear you can protect yourself in your home. He supports the state constitutional amendment guaranteeing your right to keep and bear arms, and supports Wisconsin's hunting heritage.

Mary Burke will give us the same extremist Democrat ideology, more gun control, no enforcement of the laws on the books, budget deficits, less private-sector jobs, higher taxes. Burke shares Obama's "hope and change" philosophy, which tested becomes "despair and lawlessness."

Scott Walker cut taxes, reforms that give the average family an extra $322 to spend. Walker revealed his platform for a second term: more tax cuts, continue the freeze on UW System and technical college tuition, replace Common Core academic standards with an in-state alternative. Wisconsin's voter ID law is backed by Walker as well as drug testing for anyone requesting unemployment or food stamps. Taxpayers who pay the bill for those needing help want assurance those who seek help take steps to help themselves.

Hollywoods Brad Pitt, born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, said hes not only a committed pro-Second Amendment rights American, but hes also owned a gun since he was a kid.

Theres a rite of passage where I grew up of inheriting your ancestors weapons, said Mr. Pitt, 50, The Independent reported. My brother got my dads. I got my grandfathers shotgun when I was in kindergarten.

Mr. Pitt said he was first given an air gun and then the shotgun, all by age 6. And by the time he was 8 years old, he had already fired his first handgun, he said, Fox News reported.

Mr. Pitt who recently traded wedding vows with longtime, live-in girlfriend Angelina Jolie said he doesnt really feel safe in his home, with his wife and their six children, unless he has a gun nearby.

The positive is that my father instilled in me a profound and deep respect for the weapon, Mr. Pitt said, Fox News reported.

I received a mailing urging me to vote for Stewart Mills because he loves the outdoors and respects the Second Amendment. I, too, love the outdoors and respect the Second Amendment.

I have a conceal/carry permit. I hunt deer and small game. I manage our 260 acres of woodlands for healthy habitat for game animals and other wildlife, including the golden wing warbler. Fortunately, our private right to bear arms already has been secured by the decision of the US Supreme Court.

Stronhold: A Second Amendment
This is basically a walkthrough/playthrough--whatever you want to call it of a particular stronghold takeover, A Second Amendment. These will be with the Fac...

Excerpt from:
Stronhold: A Second Amendment - Video

........................................................................................................................................................................................

The National Rifle Association and their fellow gun enthusiasts continue to misconstrue the founders original intent in creating the Second Amendment to the Constitution. A recently published NRA comment states that Guns save lives, stop crime and protect you. This is why we arm police, why people arm themselves and why the Founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution.

The amendment reads as follows: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed. A total of 27 words.

The NRAs comment in the first paragraph would be accurate if these first 13 words of the Second Amendment concerning the role of a militia had not been included in this simple statement. The first 13 words have meaning. The founders were much concerned about the power of a standing army and the possibility of overt military control of the fledgling country.

In 1791 the members of the Virginia legislature elaborated on the importance of a militia in a letter accompanying their ratification of the first 10 amendments (1791). They stated that, a well regulated Militia composed of the body of the people trained to arms is the proper, natural and safe defence of a free State. That armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty: and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to and governed by the Civil power. 1791 was a time when less than 15 percent of the white male population, mostly untrained in the military use of weapons, possessed guns.

The requirement for a well trained militia rather than a standing army was further emphasized in several issues of the Federalist Papers authored by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay. In fact, Federalist No. 29 was exclusively dedicated to the need for a militia.

Of course, the issue of no standing army was short-lived. The War of 1812 proved that a standing army and navy were essential to our survival as an independent nation. The concern, however, about undue influence of the military remains today.

Over the years Supreme Court rulings have essentially ignored the first half of the Second Amendment, opting instead for easy access to weapons. A major question: How did the founders intent to provide for a militia evolve into a nation with over 300 million guns in circulation?

Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, in his recent book, Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution, proposes the addition of five words to the Second Amendment. As so amended, it would read: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms when serving in the Militia shall not be infringed.

There is no Second Amendment right to own guns! So intended the founders!
