1. Former Chairman Mao, of the People's Republic of Communist China, wrote in his Little Red Book of Communist Expressions that "All political power is derived from the barrel of a gun."

If our elected and appointed officials believe the above statement (& we all know that they do), then who holds the political power in the USA? The people? or government officials? How the courts rule on the right to keep and bear arms in public will determine who holds the power in this country. You aren't going to be happy with the answer.

2. If the right to keep & bear arms is an individual right then who can explain why the homeless are denied this right? (This is called prior restraint & is also unconstitutional.)
