Letter: The Second Amendment Philip Jones, junior in computer science technicianonline.com

More people need education about the Second Amendment and why the Second Amendment was created in the first place. The Founding Fathers created the Second Amendment as a means to protect the peoples rights throughout future generations. They also created the Second Amendment to be prepared for the next revolution. However, gun control laws are taking these rights away. The more gun control laws on the books, the weaker our country gets. Gun-free zones right here at North Carolina State and other colleges is not only an infringement of our law-abiding rights, but it also makes the campus more unsafe. Campus police is a great resource to have. However, they can only respond so quickly. Concealed carry should be supported on campus, not feared. There have been no incidents since the gun rights in-car campus gun laws were passed. About 99 percent of concealed carry permit holders are law-abiding citizens because criminals will not go through the process to get a concealed carry. Having concealed carry on campus would make our campus and other colleges safer. Off campus, the worst thing to hear is people saying, The Founding Fathers only had muskets. Well, that is also saying the First Amendment should only apply to print media and not television or the Internet. The same applies to the Second Amendment, such as AR-15s and AK-47s. I would hate to see the day when the next revolution comes to our home country and we are unprepared because of tyranny from our lawmakers. Too many people died for the freedom of the Second Amendment, and my generation and future generations are the only people who can be more educated about our Constitution, and stop tyranny from the government.

The anti abortion group that was denied the right to display photos of aborted fetuses on a 'Jumbotron' at Alamo Plaza last week is hinting again that a lawsuit against the city may be in the works, Newsradio 1200 WOAI reports.

"The First Amendment was adopted by our founder to protect offensive or disturbing speech, because popular speech needs no protection," said Mark Harrington, Director of the Ohio based pro life group 'Created Equal.' "Unfortunately, this is something the City of san Anto0nio is going to have to learn the hard way."

Created Equal was granted a permit to hold a rally in Alamo Plaza, but was denied the use of the Jumbotron under a never before enforced city ordinance that prohibits the use of 'electronic devices' in historic areas.

"What better way to honor the men who died fighting for Texas independence from Mexico than to protect the rights of all Americans to express themselves regardless of viewpoint," Harrington said.

He said his group was the victim of 'viewpoint discrimination,' which the courts have said is a violation of the first amendment.

"Arbitrary enforcement of city codes to chill free speech is a classic case of governmental content-based discrimination," he said.

Created Equal cancelled the rally, but did hold a march through downtown.

Protections for political donations

Chattanooga, Tenn.; Agoura Hills, Calif.; and Clearwater, Fla. The Sept. 11 online article Is money still speech? Yes, as constitutional amendment bid fails in Senate (CSMonitor.com) touches on one of the most important points of campaign finance the First Amendment and the rights that it gives citizens. The First Amendment gives all US citizens the right to freedom of speech. Therefore, if an individual wishes to express his or her political viewpoints by donating to political campaigns, the government has no right to restrict that.

Regarding the Oct. 13 cover story, The whale savers: I especially appreciated the closing quote by researcher Scott Kraus: [Y]ou dont just save the animals, you save the home of the animal. If you dont save the home, there wont be any animals.

I live near the best spot for animals to cross the 101 freeway in Los Angeles. Currently the free movement of mountain lions and other wildlife in search of mates and more habitats is restricted by the freeway; the animals options are a freeway exit under a bridge or a deadly sprint across the road.

Local citizens, schoolchildren, area politicians, and groups such as the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the National Wildlife Federation are joining in an effort to have a wildlife corridor constructed in this area. The venue is quite different, but the problem is similar.

In response to the Oct. 10 online article Nobel committee dodges controversy by choosing Malala, Satyarthi (CSMonitor.com): At 17 years old, Malala Yousafzai has already survived an assassination attempt and won a Nobel Peace Prize for her unrelenting advocating for girls right to education. Not only is Malala an inspiration, but shes become a legend in her own time as well.
