    I remember learning about this in my government class my senior year of HS, which was too long ago for my personal taste. It would have been very interesting to have been around for that!

    Hello Non-mooching-artist,
    I love Jefferson. I would be a Jeffersonian in the anti-federalist camp if I were alive in his time.
    The title anti –federalist has a very interesting back story. It is truly a misnomer, because the principle of Federalism is actually something they and I support, but then like now the factions, in this case the Hamiltonians, co-opted the title in an effort to obscure their nationalist policies. This lead the Anti’s to adopt the anti-federalist name as a distinction of opposition to the Hamiltonian federalists. Later Madison joined the anti’s and Jefferson in support of the Bill of Rights. For over two centuries this victory of the anti’s gave us some protection that is largely now trampled like the ninth and tenth amendments.
    Regards,
    O.A.

    Today in the paper at the end of all the blather about meaningful changes in gun regulations, there was a quote by a Newtown resident and parent of one of the children killed, that said he was uncomfortable with the full court press by the govt to do something and use Newtown as the catalyst. I was really surprised, and then I wanted to invite him to The Gulch! That was the first time I'd heard anyone say anything in that vein

    I've searched the NRA, NRA-ILA and state associations and can't find anything. How did you folks find out about yours?
