- The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights reserved.
- Personal firearms: The original point and click interface.
- An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
- A gun in the hand is better than a dispatcher on the phone.
- Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
- If guns are outlawed, can we use crossbows? ...how about swords, clubs or icepics?
- If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words.
- Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.
- If you don't know your rights you don't have any.
- If government cannot trust its citizens with firearms, government cannot be trusted.
- Those who trade liberty for security end up losing both.
- What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?
- The Second Amendment is in place in case they ignore all of the others.
- Approximately 79,999,977 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
- Guns only have two enemies: rust and totalitarians.
- Know guns...know peace, know safety.
- No guns...no peace, no safety.
- You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.
- Assault is a behavior, not a device.
- Criminals love gun control -- it makes their jobs safer.
- If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson.
- Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to disarm them.
- You only have the rights you are willing to fight and die for.
- The American Revolution would never have happened if gun control were in place.
- If the founding fathers of America were alive today, in all likelihood they would have already rebelled against curretn gun control laws.

I received an email with a message similar to this today and, after contemplating it, significantly modified it and posted it here on FR.
I believe that every now and then we need a refresher thread to help stimulate and sharpern our feelings and knowledge regarding the 2nd amendment, to punctuate to us how critical that amendment is, and to help us always remeber why it is in place.

1. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights reserved. Yeah, and we all know how much weight that carries today. Even the SCOTUS justices (some of them, at least) have all but admitted to ignoring the parts they don't like.

Thanks Jeff. They are all good. I like number 10 the best.
If government cannot trust its citizens with firearms, government cannot be trusted.

26. Know Guns, No Criminals. No Guns, Know Criminals.
Yes, it's similar to #s 16 & 17 but it's shorter and fits better on a bumper sticker. :)
Hope you and your's had a nice holiday season, Jeff. All was well in The Confetti household.
