Those who hold the belief that the 2nd Amendment gives them an individual right to take violent action have isolated Jefferson's "tree of liberty" quote in order to justify a radical ideology.

It is important not to treat these incidents of public gun-carrying as merely the misguided behavior of a few. It is more than that; the acting out of central tenets of the extremist "gun rights" ideology.

I almost had to remind myself to breathe inside the Newseum. There was Patty Hearst's gun and jacket. Donald Brasco's watch and Amex Card. A press pass to Timothy McVeigh's execution.
