George Mason, a "founding father," said: "To disarm the people is the most effectual way to enslave them." Equal protection and due process are incorporated in the Second Amendment.

According to former New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams, the grand jury said that Tawana Brawlers complaint was a "hoax." A grand juror filed an affidavit asserting that it was Abrams and not the grand jury that characterized Ms. [Tawana Brawley]'s complaint as a "hoax." The grand jury believed otherwise.
For example, Dr. Alexander Aplasca examined the body of [Harry Crist Jr.] and concluded that it was a homicide. Abrams kept Dr. Aplasca's autopsy report from the grand jury and, instead, hired Dr. Michael Baden to testify that Crist's death was a suicide. Abrams later added a suicide note and a gun near Crist's body.
