The Weekly Miner, “But the lesson wasted on the community should be taken to heart by the individual. The right to bear arms guaranteed by the Constitution should be looked upon as something more than a right; as a duty which every citizen should carefully fulfill. . . . Every man should own a gun. Not only that, but he should know how to use it, and use it well.”, Oct. 14, 1879
