Georgia Carry Amicus brief for Heller

GeorgiaCarry.org has posted a copy of their brief (PDF) in DC vs. Heller, and it’s a good read.

“[T]he simple truth-born of experience is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people. Our own sorry history bears this out: Disarmament was the tool of choice for subjugating both slaves and free blacks in the South. In Florida, patrols searched blacks’ homes for weapons, confiscated those found and punished their owners without judicial process.”

Silveira v. Lockyer, 328 F.3d 567, 569 (9th Cir. 2003)
