Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness trump the right to gun ownership.
by David Wheeler
“Thomas Jefferson described our inalienable rights as life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness — the rights with which we are endowed, for the protection of which we have instituted governments. I do not think the composition of that foundational phrase was an accident. I do not think the order of those important words was haphazard or casual. The liberty of any person to own a military-style assault weapon and a high-capacity magazine, and keep them in their home, is second to the right of my son to his life — to his life; to the right to live of all of those children and those teachers, to the right to the lives of your children, of you, of all of us — all of our lives — it is second. Let’s honor the founding documents and get our priorities straight. Thank you.”
David Wheeler's 6-year-old son was shot to death in his elementary school.
