I take it as comforting that even a avowed anti like Speed
recognizes the sound  constitutional basis for the pro freedom
position.   As much as Speed hates gun, he admits that the
Constitution is an impediment to his statist dreams.

I pose a question, can a citizenry that can not be trusted with a
bullet be trusted with a ballot?  I say no.  A ballot is far more
dangerous than a bullet.  Governments have killed far more people
than bullets have.
