We’ve lost sight of that here in Texas. We’ve surrendered private property ownership to the ever-growing state – we lease our property in the form of ever increasing rents known as property taxes. We’ve forgotten that ownership is an essential element of freedom; that property taxed is not owned at all. We must cherish and protect all property ownership. Jefferson was correct in his writing to James Madison “small landholders are the most precious part of a state.”

Protecting freedom requires that the people be well armed. Government cannot protect us from violence, we must defend ourselves. On the essential elements of freedom, we must not compromise and we must not surrender. Texans must not compromise and must not surrender their right to keep and bear arms. We must not only nullify federal laws that threaten that right but encourage citizens to be, as Madison encouraged, “trained to arms, as that is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
