“If you try to take our firearms, we will kill you.”

Last December 14th Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed during an Arizona shootout with members of a Mexican drug cartel. But before the facts surrounding this murder could be buried with its victim, David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh brought the story to the American public.

Working with contacts within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), these men revealed what is now known as Project “Gunwalker”…the deliberate facilitation by the ATF of the sale of guns to known straw purchasers for Mexican drug cartels. Two of the rifles literally “walked” across the border by the ATF were found at the scene of agent Terry’s murder…

On February 26th, Vanderboegh printed an article entitled “America as a Free Fire Zone: A Critical Examination of Gun Culture Rationalizations” on his Sipset Street Irregulars blog. Written by Ernest Partridge, professor of Environmental Ethics at Wisconsin’s Northland College, the article predictably rehashes the same attacks, tripe and misinformation for which gun-grabbers are famous.

For decades, 2nd Amendment supporters have responded to anti-gun rights declarations of the type made by Professor Partridge with facts, reason and well researched statistics.

But Vanderboegh’s reply to the learned professor is truly one for the ages. “I used to argue history, facts and common sense with such as you, but gave it up as a bad job”, he writes of once being asked his opinions on gun control by a citizen disarmament advocate.

And when asked by the fellow for a “short answer” summing up his views, Vanderboegh simply answered, “If you try to take our firearms, we will kill you.” “It boils down to that”, he continues. “If you try to take our firearms (liberty, property, insert any other God-given, inalienable right) we will kill you.”…..

You gave the explanation well to a tee to my tagline.

I think homicide in prisons should be looked at from country to country. In the US, we have a high rate of prison homicide and they are done mostly with homemade shivs. If we can't stop people from murdering inside a micromanaged prison with shivs, what can prevent them from killing on the outside save self defense?

That’s been my mindset all along.
It is cool that somebody said it to a liberal’s fat face for public consumption, though.
ANYTHING that makes the scumbags’ heads explode is great by me.
