bsngWhy are George E. Stuart IV
sUngand Lee Muller and Lord-:
V Counseling knows-how-many others
brrals allowed to foam at the mouth so
freely 'on the subject of gun
Cs control? The issue deserves
some sober thought, especially
if it's going to appear in print,
assistance cal and sobriety is the last charge
to talk It you would think of leveling at
o call is 779-355. most of the participants in this
debate.
On page 11 of my'little red
Constitution, Article 11 of the
1 )0 4 Bill of Rights reads thus: "A
well regulated Militia, being
we to see. necessary to the security of a
.. ...free State, the right of the
people to keep and bear arms,
shall not be infringed."
But the colonial militia is
dead. In its place, largely
because of the size of the
4 4 country and the structure of the
armed forces, we have reserves
and National Guardsmen.
Neither my father nor my
grandfather were ever roused
(j]~ out of sleep and urged to grab
their muskets and assemble on
the commons.
o rval Instead, the modern right to
bear arms is guarded as a way
DOG'of protection from society's
I..ALVY MOORE riffraff. The Bronx drugstore
Tachigcolor -? owner keeps a gun under the
counter in case someone walks
lk in off the street and aims
AT: 2:40 another gun, possibly the same
>:0es:05 make and model, at him. I
think any clear thinking in
7:4 -9:0 divi dual would see the
ridiculousness of the situation:
we keep and bear arms to
protect ourselves not from
invading forces but from each
other.
And there are further com
plications. That drugstore
nowner may never have oc
casion to shoot a stranger, but
when he gets into an argument
Richcand Mall with rhis brother-in-law, who
Dutch Square Mall knocks over the potato chip
'Patch, Downtown rack and lunges at him, the
man is going to react. (It has
been proven statistically that
most violent crimes are crimes
of passion, against family
iotography by scheper members or friends.) The gun
could be--and often is--too
handy. What might have been
an even-odds fist fight could
lead to a conviction on in
