Congressman Robert H. Michel
18th (Peoria) Dist., Illinois
THE SECOND AMENDMENT was intended ... to prevent the disarming of the
average citizen by act of a central government and to preserve to him the freedoms
for which he fought. As a former combat infantryman, I am quite well aware of the
value of the individual riReman in warfare. I will oppose legislation which would
restrict or harass responsible citizens in the ownership of personal firearms...
Congressman William K. Van Pelt
Comm.: Merchant Marine & Fish, Science & Astro.
6th Dist., Wisconsin
THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, as amended, is one of the greatest
documents that man has conceived. The Second Amendment
spells out very definitely that we as a free people are capable
of defending our freedoms by force if necessary... Sportsmen
tbroughout the Nation are playing a large part in establishing
voluntary groups to iustruct our youth in the handling of firearms,
which to me is most important because they not only
become accustomed to handling a gun but also develop a respect
for it. I would ... oppose any legislation which might
restrict the right of an individual to own firearms that he might use in extreme
instances to protect his person or domicile as well as to use as a sportsman in the field.
Congressman Basil l. Whitener
Comm.: Judiciary
11 th (Gastonia) Dist., North Carolina
THE CITIZEN SOLDIER has always heen the first line of defense in our Nation
since the days of the American Revolution. An essential part of our security is the
right of the people to keep and, whenever necessary, bear firearms in defense of their
liberties.
Congressman J. Carlton Loser
Comm.: Judiciary, D.C.
5th (Nashville) Dist., Tennessee
IT IS MY OPINION that the term "militia" was intended ... to cover the broad
field of non·professional soldiers, of citizens trained and accustomed to discipline and
the care and use of firearms. Today's equivalent is to be iound in the membership of
the National Guard and the organized reserves, and in the veterans whose military
training and experience entitle them to serve in the defense of our liberty and the
preservation of public order. I believe it an important part of the education of our
youth for citizenship that this right to keep and bear arms should be publicly proclaimed
and exercised; that young people should be taught the care and use of guns;
that licensing and regulating procedures should be reasonahly ordained and strictly
enforced;. that the forfeiting of this right to bear arms may be the sure and irrevocable
consequence of any serious crime of violence. The right of each citizen to bear arms is
both a symbol and an essential part of the freedom we desire to preserve and of the
responsibility we must accept.
Congressman Clem Miller
Comm.: Banking & Currency
1st District, California
THE NATURE OF modern weaponry is so complicated, and the need for centralized
coordination so intense, that the mere idea of militia is ludicrous. Now, let me hasten
to add, that developments in the future may put the militia (or the individual with his
arms, most precisely) in the forefront as our protection shield. If the world should be
caught up in the madness of an atomic cataclysm, our highly organized society would
break up into its lowest common denominator-the individual and his immediate
neighbors. At once, and in the twinkling of an eye, we might have the conditions of
the frontier reestablished. At this time, the only arsenal he could avail himself of
would be that (which) he had immediately on his person. He would be on his own_
He would need all of the cunning which modern man has somewhat lost. Having arms,
carrying anns, and familiarity with arms would be an integral part of such self·reliance.
For this reason, I have always supported programs which would develop the individual
responsibility and reliance of a fonner age. The very survival of the human race might
depend on a few Robinson Crusoes spotted around the globe. This may not be what
you had in mind in your letter [about the Second Amendment1, but I believe it needs
saying by somebody.
