What an uninformed article.

The description of Powell's arms are in heraldic English, not "pretentious Scottish," whatever that may be.

The author confuses the US Bill of Right's Second Amendment on the right to bear arms with a right to bear or own a coat of arms. One could go on and on.

I am surprised that Newsweek would publish an article of this calibre. It's no wonder that the print media in the US is going downhill fast.
