Safeguarding Liberty: The Constitution and Citizens Militias

This collection of essays edited by Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America focuses on the real issues concerning the 2nd Amendment and the militia: first, that the Constitution guarantees individual citizens to join together to protect life and property apart from the government, and second, the fact that people -- not guns -- kill people. Social commentator Walter Williams stated that: "Among our God-given rights is the right of self-defense. The Founders knew this well and charged Congress, through the Second Amendment, to protect (not grant) that right. Safeguarding Liberty reminds us of that; plus, if America is to remain free, we must not compromise with those who would strip us of our right to keep and bear arms."
