Eleanor Roosevelt Packed a Rod
Today's anti-choice Democrats could learn a valuable lesson from one of their heroines of the past, Eleanor Roosevelt, who practiced gun control by using both hands.
The August issue of America's 1st Freedom recalls how the former first lady risked the wrath of the Ku Klux Klan in Tennessee by crusading for civil rights in 1958, at age 74.
The Secret Service warned that the KKK had a $25,000 bounty on Mrs. Roosevelt's head.
"I didn't ask for your protection," she replied. "I have a commitment. I'm going."
Accompanied by a 71-year-old female friend and a loaded pistol, which she kept nearby for 25 years, she "drove through the heart of Klan territory to teach people how to fight for freedom," says the magazine, a publication of National Rifle Association.
"If she were alive, and if Rosie O'Donnell's dreams were to come true, that gray-haired grandmother today would be thrown in jail," America's 1st Freedom reports.
"'I don't care if you think it's your right. ... You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun I think you should go to prison,' O'Donnell has proclaimed. Hillary Clinton would lecture the old woman about how people shouldn't own guns for protection. But the old lady wouldn't listen to Hillary or Rosie any more than she listened to all the other people who told her what she wasn't supposed to do." http://www.newsmax.com/showinsidecover.shtml?a=2002/7/24/205409
"If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege." - Arkansas Supreme Court, 1878
