We Americans have traveled a long way since our freedom from the British. Our children who were at that wonderful age where they still see their parents as the most important people in the world. This is the age where children really want to please their parents, and do many of the same things as their parents. This is the age to teach them absolutes of right and wrong. They are beginning to respond to the consistent training they receive, and show some real responsibility. They have not yet been corrupted by negative influences, which they would never have received at home.

We took them hunting, and we supervised them carefully. We taught them that this freedom was purchased with the blood of patriots. Later, we began to hear from these children about classroom discussions on the subject of gun control. We continued this process during the intervening years, and it continues to this very day. We have also occasionally been honored with the privilege of bringing other new shooters into the fold. They have now grown into fine young adults. They voice their opinion, and it is apparent that they recognize their selves. Freedom was more significant to them than hollow promises. (Houghton Mifflin, 1996)

We have no doubt that our individual rights are inalienable ones, and that they existed long before that historic meeting of pen and weapon endeavor, which resulted in our Declaration of Independence. The conditions, which allowed monarch to reign in a free republic for many years, did not develop overnight. They were facilitated by a culture, which placed immediate satisfaction and pork-barrel politics above the sanctity of freedom. It is our responsibility that builds strong spirit that made America free. My fellow Americans, mind you, with the chains of administrative and judicial rule, and statistics designed to scare us into submission.

We must never again allow precious freedom to shake on the brink of the gulf. It is our duty to insure that there are tempting numbers of young Americans who value freedom above all else, and have learned first hand that responsible firearms ownership is an honorable exercise of that freedom. And it is not impossible. Storming the beach at Normandy was impossible, but the American fighting spirit made it possible. Make it a personal goal to teach ten responsible kids, be responsible before you pass from this earth. Give them your old books, and feed their natural hunger to learn. We have a responsibility to fulfill; we have to preserve our ancestor’s heritage.
