The Liberty Of The Second Amendment Isn't A "Need" For Guns, It's Much More Important...

Ann Coulter has rubbed conservatives the wrong way quite a bit lately, but she's still on the right team...and her latest column is a grand slam (in my opinion).

I'm glad someone is focusing on that word. As with wealth, the left tries to determine our needs for us.
"How much money does one person need?"
"Why does a person need a semi-automatic?"

We are not supposed to be followers of "The Communist Manifesto" with its from each according to his ability to each according to his needs. We are supposed to be living in America and the 2nd amendment is one of our rights in the Bill of Rights.

I know the Constitution is akin to toilet tissue by the regime and its cadres in the Congress and the media, but those people are acting in defiance of what should be the law of our land, the Constitution with its Bill of Rights.

Yes I agree Ann hit that one out of the park

We don’t need Uncle Barry to tell us what we need.

We don’t need Uncle Barry to tell us what we can have.

We are no children. We are adults. We are a free people who can decide what we need, what we want and what we shall have.

Uncle Barry and the Nanny Statist can pound sand and pout till the cows come home. We will keep our guns, our God and dollars. They will have to hold their water because we have the Constitution on our side.

We need a video of Obama and his staff threatening the nation with reduced law enforcement and national security.

Follow that with rolling script and voice over:

THIS is why American citizens NEED semi-automatic rifles with 30 round magazines.

To protect our families, our homes, our communities, and our nation, when the government FAILS in those responsibilities.

I hope Ann got the idea from me. It is pretty close to an essay I wrote a couple of weeks ago.

Nobody “Needs” Detachable Magazines

I think we should frame the question with whether police should have guns or not. None will argue, IMHO. From there it goes to, “How about off-duty police? Hard to argue that the same person who’s looked at as a savior while on duty should be disarmed while "off duty.” How about retired police? Again, if he was a savior yesterday, why is it important to disarm him today? Then of course there are retired and off-duty military police . . . and then there are other soldiers, firearms instructors, and gunsmiths, and hunters. And people who live in Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, and so forth. Eventually, of course, the question becomes, “Why not just allow Republicans to have guns, since there is so little crime among people who don’t vote Democrat?”

The other point is that we could cut “gun violence” quite a bit by the simple expedient of making non-gun violence legal. That way more people would be stabbed or bludgeoned or poisoned - but at least they wouldn’t be killed with guns. The answer, of course, is that the real problem is illegitimate violence, not just gun violence. And guns, in the hands of the law abiding, greatly reduce the threat of non-gun violence by the young and the strong.

Statists hate the Second Amendment because it is the clearest statement that the power of government is LIMITED.

They reject this notion completely.
