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.

You can have my gun after you get rid of all that cars since they kill 43000 people per year.

Hmmm...now where have I seen that before?

Oh yeah...on a Defcon Shoot T-shirt! : )

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.

"The Second Amendment makes ALL the others possible."

This is my favorite.

"There is no more pathetic example of a man, no more worthless waste of masculinity, than a man who will not protect himself and those weaker than he. Only fools, cowards, criminals and terrorists are afraid of good men with guns."

A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity."
-- Sigmund Freud, General Introduction to Psychoanlysis (1952)

There's no question that weapons in the hands of the public have prevented acts of terror or stopped them while they were in progress
Police Inspector-General Shlomo Aharonisky [Israel]

Because less than twenty years ago I was the target of a terrorist group...I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms...I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me.
Senator Dianne Feinstein

(W)hen the owner called in the checks, it seemed to me he spoke unnecessarily loudly, repeating and spelling my name over and over on the phone...Scott is not a convicted felon, and he is not prohibited from owning a gun...Scott Brady could walk into a store and buy a - he is not a prohibited purchaser

If the founding fathers of America were alive today, in all likelihood they would have already rebelled against current gun control laws

Add taxes, and a lot of government programs and agencies that are around today to that list

[Conspiracy Guy]

Very good!

"A gun in the hand is better than a dispatcher on the phone."

How about:

A gun in the hand is better than two in a locked cabinet with trigger guards on.

or

A gun in the hand is better than two in a blast furnace.

Thanks, Jeff
