Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' 'the security of the nation,' and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy...

For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important.
