NYT Editorial Board Member Attacks NRA for Having Guns in Its Gun Museum

Too bad we don’t live in a Morlock free World.

Since we don’t, it’s best to be an Armed Eloi with lots of Range time.

Story 1) “My toddler set off the alarms. Oops. Swift, effective, unobtrusive, friendly security.”

Story 2) Reminds me of the time I took a few little kids to the Patton Museum at Ft. Knox (when it was there and they had tanks there). One of the little “spastic” kids was “crawling” around on some historically rare sword display and apparently set off a silent alarm. Wasn’t but a few seconds after I told the kid to get off of it, I was met by about 4 MPs.

Story 3) When I went to Sanckt Peterborgya, Russia, in 1996 I got to visit many important historical sites, including PeterHof, the Peter the Great's summer palace. I was the typical loud American, literally wearing a cowboy hat and speaking too loudly. When I got too close to one significant display, one of the Russians who was a military guard, pointedly (AND LOUDLY) clicked off the safety on his AK-47.

I peered at him. He looked all of 15 years of age, and had a stoney expression that said, "Why yes, I would be thrilled to kill you, Loud American." I backed the hell off.

So, the morale of the story is that Laz is basically a spastic kid.

There will always be evil. Guns, by and of themselves, are not evil. The defense of oneself against evil is noble and the antithesis of evil.

In your perfect utopia there is no evil. In the real world you have a right - some would argue a responsibility - to fight evil.

The second amendment was drafted by men with first-hand experience in having their freedom denied. To call it a necessary evil is an affront to natural law.

Again:

A necessary evil is an unfavorable thing that someone believes must be done or accepted because it is necessary to achieve a better outcome—especially because possible alternative courses of action or inaction would be worse... In Common Sense, Thomas Paine described government as at best a “necessary evil.”...

The use of the term “evil” in the phrase does not indicate that the thing being characterized as a “necessary evil” is something that is generally considered an “evil” in the sense of being immoral or the enemy of the good. In Fuller’s use of the phrase, for example, there is no implication that court jesters are evil people, or having one serves an evil end.

Aw, you don’t wanna try that in Detroit. Besides most people wouldn’t believe it. Everybody is armed there- good and bad.

These people are not Americans. They are NWO Traitors.

You do realize how convoluted your statement is, don't you?

Then again, you probably don't.
