Friday, November 19, 2004Instapundit points out this Dave Kopel post at the Volokh Conspiracy on Dr. Condoleeza Rice's Second Amendment views. Growing up in Birmingham, Alabama at a time when the law wasn't much protection for Blacks, owning your own gun was. Rice's father was among those who patrolled the neighborhood armed lest white vigilantes get the wrong idea.We need more politicians with this perspective on the citizen's right to defend himself or herself and a practical understanding of where we might wind up if we just count on the government to do it.
