Our Founding Fathers would not be proud of these men they would merely nod their heads in acknowledgement of men doing what should be expected of them.

Amen.

NAILED it.

It is precisely this for which the Second Amendment was designed.

Well, actually, although it is very good for this type of protection, the 2nd amendment was actually designed to keep big government in check...to ensure there was no all powerful government capable of subduing all of the people.

I believe that the Micahel Moores and their ilk understand this protection very well and it is the principle reason they want it done away with...so they and their ilk can have a free hand.

The protection the seond amendment thus affords is also, as I say, very good for protection against the lesser criminals associated with looting and civil upheavel during such disasters as well, which are also perfectly capable of making you dead if you are not suitably armed.

Couple of points.

1. Throughout history barbarians (some of them being my ancestors), raiders, pirates, pillagers and looters have never been permanently delayed from savaging civilization by negotiations, bribes, treaties, or any of the other so-called "civilized" implements. The only thing such people understand is pure, naked force of equal or greater amount than they themselves possess. It's not "lowering oneself to the level of the barbarians" is a fine sentiment, but in reality, the only way to make barbarians go away is to make them believe what you can do to them exceeds anything that they can do to you. This applies at all levels, be it social or personal.

2. Here's an exercise (if you live in a major city; I am not responsible if you : If you live in a all the police and report a possible break in. Then call Pizza Hut and order a pizza. See who gets their first.

Hint: Have a tip ready for the pizza boy.

Coming soon to a theater near you, from the man who brought you "Bowling for Columbine", is "Rowing for New Orleans". Starring Sean "Leaky" Penn, it's movie that will exploit blacks in a manner that will make the most ardent Democrat blush with envy. Cameo appearances by Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

" The Second Amendment is not, much to the chagrin of Liberals like Michael Moore, Al Gore, and John Kerry, about a person’s right to hunt..." i think its entirely about a persons right to hunt. the right to hunt for food the right to hunt down those intent upon, or actively trying to, inflict harm upon others. most importantly... the right to hunt down those intent upon, or actively trying to, take away our rights.

"Following the looting of the local Dollar Store..."

Is that a joke?

[King Prout]

good article, good comments, and more than a little gun-porn

[DocRock]

I live exactly where Charley, Frances and Jeanne crossed paths. We had no looting, (that was reported), because this part of the country is well armed. An armed society is a polite society.

I am not enamored by the .223/5.56 black gun. I back everyones right to own these varmint rifles...but when everything goes south and I am on my roof protecting whats mine it will be with a brace of M1 Garands....a brace of original winchester '73's, a couple of enemic M1 carbines, a couple of 1911's, a trapdoor springfield, an 03-A3 and inumerable other handguns and shotguns (in semi-auto, pump side by side). I am considering buying what I consider 1 modern weapon. that would be an M1A.....I like the M14, it is just a sweet, shortened Garand chambered in .308.

...we can’t always depend on the police.

That's the understatement of the week. Just look at the NOPD. 400+ officers unaccounted for, which apparently includes much of the command staff.

Amen.
