"to grant permits to such persons, as in their judgment, are entitled to them, to retain private arms for sporting purposes"

The Norfolk Post, "authorized to grant permits to such persons, as in their judgment, are entitled to them, to retain private arms for sporting purposes", Sept. 12, 1865

   "Sporting purposes" . . . now where have I heard THAT before? . . . .

   Oh yeah, the Nazi's used it in their law of 1938. And the [treasonous] democrats used it in the Constitutionally perverse 1968 Gun Control Act.

   And this perverse 'general' having made this proclamation despite the fact that THAT is precisely what the 2nd Amendment was intended to prevent.
