Save the Children

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. –December 15th, 1791

What a pity there's not a national organization to promote the second amendment of the Bill of Rights. According to the Children's Defense Fund, "In 2007 [in the U.S.] 3,042 children lost their lives to gun violence and an additional 17,523 suffered non-fatal gun injuries..." Who's killing our children? We need to arm the populace so we can stop this mayhem.

If there were only something like a National Rifle Society or a National Rifle Association, we could take up our rifles and defend our children from attack by these scoundrels. Anyone with a handgun would be shot on sight, handguns being the weapon of the criminal and the outlaw, while the noble rifle is of course the weapon of the soldier and the hunter.

There is already a National Rifle Association? Oh. Then the children are safe!
