Posted on: Nevada ACLU supports an individual’s right to bear arms

Dear Reader,
As you consider the action of the Nevada ACLU, and the range of comments about it, think, please, whaqt the writers of our constitution considered the militia. It referenced every adult man with his own arms and ammunition.
Three times in this century, I am aware of the militia being called on. In December of 1941 the governors of both Hawaii and California called on citizens to arm themselve and guard the beaches in fear of an imminent invasion. In Michigan, in my youth, a notorious robber whose MO was to kill the night clerk at a gas station and then empty the till was stopped when the sheriff called upon a large group of citizens known for their marksmanship, veterans and hunters, each accompanied by a peace officer. Every gas station open at night was covered, and the murderous robber was stopped in one day.
We are the militia, and I for one, am proud enough of that to keep my marksmanship up to date. We all should.
That's what I think. What about you?
