The Good Old Days Were Never That

Certainly One Of The Chief Guarantees Of Freedom Under Any Government, No Matter How Popular And Respected, Is The Right Of Citizens To Keep And Bear Arms.

My Friends, To Those Who Say That We Are Rushing This Issue Of Civil Rights, I Say To Them We Are 172 Years Late. To Those Who Say That This Civil-rights Program Is An Infringement On States’ Rights, I Say This: The Time Has Arrived In America For The Democratic Party To Get Out Of The Shadow Of States' Rights And To Walk Forthrightly Into The Bright Sunshine Of Human Rights.

The Right Of Citizens To Bear Arms Is Just One Guarantee Against Arbitrary Government, One More Safeguard Against The Tyranny Which Now Appears Remote In America, But Which Historically Has Proved To Be Always Possible.

Freedom Is Hammered Out On The Anvil Of Discussion, Dissent, And Debate.

Behind Every Successful Man Is A Proud Wife And A Surprised Mother-in-law.
