John Ringo's sci-fi right to bear arms

The Road to Damascus | March 2004 | John Ringo & Linda Evans

[Aldin]

The right of people to keep and bear arms for self-defense and defense of the homeland shall never be infringed, limited, rescinded, interfered with, or prohibited by any decree of law, decision by court, or policy by the executive branch or any of it's agencies. And this time, we mean it.

[Aldin]

Came across John Ringo's take on how he might rewrite the right to bear arms given a second chance in the future and thought it was worth sharing. Ringo regularly writes some of the best military sci-fi hitting the shelves these days.

Linda Evans? Does Yanni know about this?

[Joe 6-pack]

What? No articulated right to bear arms once every four years for pre-election photo ops? No way Theresa's going to allow John to support this....

Paul George apparently had no comment.

Or link.

I'd specify something like "A well-regulated populace being necessary to the security of a free state, all free persons have the right to equip themselves with such blades, firearms, or other such weaponry as they choose to purchase, barter, produce, or otherwise consensually acquire and own without need for any governmental "permission". Any effort on the part of any governmental official to restrict this right shall constitute treason."

If you would like to read some of John Ringo novels go to www.baen.com and search the free library. Baen is the publisher and has most of the novels available as ebooks for a low price and no restictions on format. Also in Ringo's books are cd's that can be copied with permission of the publisher and author. These people at Baen are against the Digital Millenium Act and propose that if people like what the read they will choose to buy it in treebook format.

John Ringo's latest book, "Ghost" is as strong of an endorsement of the War on Terror as I've seen yet. It also attacks Liberal logic with a full frontal assault.

Beware though... the sexual content in the book is overwhelming, which is a serious surprise since I haven't seen that in any of his previous books that I've read. But if you ignore that, the political statement the book makes is very obvious.
