It made me recall a sheet of paper that was displayed on a bulletin board at my sons’ The Savage Rascal elementary school a couple of years ago. The paper –a Page 10 writing assignment – was written by one of the students and it was so forcefully anti-gun/anti-Second Amendment that it disturbed me much more than the usual rhetoric we are all bombarded with on a continual basis. It was clear the young author was parroting someone else’s words and had no clue whatsoever about anything relat- The ed to firearms. Since I was at school for Parent/Teacher conferences, I inquired about the writing assignment. I Hand-Sized Pistol was told by the teacher that her class had been having Championship debates about various topics and that the Second Amend- ment had been brought up by one of her students.

There are those who will be brainwashed, but I take Page 78 pride and comfort in knowing that my sons and daughters aren’t the only young people in this country that will stand up and speak accurately and truthfully when the facts are misrepresented. Thanks for your time and please, keep up the great work.
