Keeping their own arms...
The full and proper quote is:" And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms." ~ Samuel Adams, (February 6, 1788), reported in Charles Hale, Debates and Proceedings in the Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (1856), p. 86 (Jackie Trapp Price)

Shocking twist in Utah cop murder-suicide...
By Brady McCombs
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A Utah police officer used his service weapon when he killed his wife, two children and his mother-in-law before turning the gun on himself in January, authorities said Monday.
An investigation completed by Spanish Fork City Police was unable to determine Lindon police officer Joshua Boren's exact motive, Lt. Matt Johnson said. But investigators did learn Boren, 34, and his wife were having marital problems.
Toxicology reports from the autopsy show Boren had no drugs or alcohol in his system, and he had no history of violence or mental illness, Johnson said.
Rest of story here.

The shocking twist? He used his service weapon.

Independence Day...
~~~~~~
Hopefully, one day soon, we will stand united...
I believe that greedy people and people who had a lust for power began the process of corrupting what The Founders were putting in place for us almost before the ink was dry...
We never wanted it as badly as they wanted us to have it. We never understood the passion of their vision the way they intended it. We were never as willing to risk all that we have to protect it as they were willing to risk everything to create it... Every generation removed from the beginning has allowed it to slip further away.
Here we are.
What are we going to do about it?
Think about it.
Enjoy your Independence Day.
