NRA

          The part in red is the part the NRA conveniently forgets to mention:

A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of the People to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

          This is the reason they forget to mention it:

We have several WELL REGULATED MILITIAS: National Guard, US Military Reserves, and the Active Duty US Military.

          The military at the time of the revolution was disbanded between wars or emergencies, only called to active duty when needed. In the modern world, the US Military is necessarily active at all times, protecting your freedoms. They deserve your thanks. And you don’t need an assault weapon.

Save a tooth. Prevent brain injury. It's easy.

     This is an 8.5x11handout I made. The woman's picture is in the public domain. The dentist who took the mouth guard picture gave me permission to use it. Please copy and spread around. Having had two central incisors broken off , I can empathize with kids who are teased if they lose a tooth.



Friends,
      I am hoping that all of you will send this to all of your email contacts (and they do the same), especially those who have children or grandchildren who play any sport in which they could take an elbow, foot, shoulder, head, or ball to the face; or fall to the ground or floor face first.
      Loosing a front tooth can be devastating to a child's self-image, especially if his parents cannot afford to replace it.
      Repeated concussions can lead to serious brain injury.
      The soft plastic cushion absorbs energy.  It does not interfere with breathing or playing sports.
      The woman's picture is in the public domain.  The mouth guard picture was lent to me by a dentist.  This handout should print out on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper if you want to print it and hand it out at practices.
      Thanks.
