What The Democrats Used To Say, or The Mother Of All Flip-Flops

Here's a little history lesson for the likes of Kerry, Kennedy, Feinstein, Clinton & Schumer etal:

During House debate on the Army Appropriations Bill on 18 May, 1878, Representative Abram S. Hewitt (D-NY) had this to say:

The Federal government should "give encouragement to rifle clubs and sharpshooting clubs throughout the length and breadth of this land....No citizen should be allowed to grow up in this country who cannot handle a gun....You never need fear disorders where the people bear arms."

How times have changed.
