Ellsworth 2nd Dist., Kansas I THINK THE PRINCIPLE behind the 2nd Amendment is a good one. That is, the right to keep arms meant that the people, as a collective body, could rise up in re sistance. Even today, witness Hungary, I think this is an important right for the people to have. Obviously, the slave states of Eastern Europe and other parts of the world today, are afraid to trust the people with arms. I would like to quote a passage from The Federalist, where James Madison said. "Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several Kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain that with this aid alone they would now be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by those governments, and attached to them and to the'militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it." Don't you think that is just as applicablc in Hungary in 1961, as it was in many countries of Europe in the 18th century, when The Federalist was written? Senator lee Metcalf Comm.: Interior, Insular Affairs Montana THE RIGHT TO KEEP and bear arms is a basic right of our American society. Itis an essential elementof our representative democracy. This right does not mean that we may possess and use arms in whatever way we see fit and under whatever circumstances we think desirable. Surely, government may impose reasonable controls in the public interest. What this means in the context of our constitutional system is that these controls recognize the duty and authority of government, on the one hand, and the respon sibility of the individual on the other. Han. Frank B. Morrison Governor of Nebraska IN ANSWER TO your letter concerning my views on the trend in legislation, etc., let me say that I have no statement which I wish quoted. There is very little activity in this area now in our Legislature. In past sessions there have been efforts made to strengthen our laws regarding the possession of and carrying of firearms. For the most part these have been unsuccessful. I know of no legislation introduced to date (Jan. 61) in our current legislative session, concerning the subject. Congressman Ralph Harvey 10th Dist., Indiana IN RE-EXAMINING the Constitution, I am first prompted to read the Pre amble. The Preamble begins "We The People" were establishing the new government, yet the people generally knew nothing about the new government and had to be sold on the whole idea. The best brains of the day were assigned the task: Madison, Hamil ton, and Jay together wrote 85 articles for New York newspapers under the title 'fhe Federalist. . Their editorials were not aimed at the average voter, but toward the educated classes who controlled the country. Their language was stilted, but taken all together made a convincing political platform. When Americans finally got a look at their Constitution, the immediate reaction of most was that they didn't like it. To man¥, it was the old British Tyranny in an American disguise. It had the same power to organize standing armies and levy taxes from a distant capital. These things they had fought against in the Revolution; and to many, the 100,000 man army would be an instrument to enslave the people and rob them of their arms. The Constitution-wouldpiobably have been defeated if put to a popular vote, so it was ratified by special state. conventions. New Hampshire was the decisive ninth in June of 1788, with three of the states demanding immediate amendments to guar antee human rights and property rights in the area of owning arms and ammunition. Certainly, the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution has the same significant importance today as in the early days of our Founding Fathers, and I doubt seriously if any legislation will be enacted to preclude the rights of our citizens to possess firearms.
