"Audemus jura nostra defendere" has been translated as: "We Dare Maintain Our Rights" or "We Dare Defend Our Rights." This Latin phrase is on the state coat of arms completed in 1923.

Wayne LaPierre really did a great job. He cites a Zogby poll (I think this is the one) which is amazing.

Our freedoms are well-supported by Americans!

He goes after the Wellstone amendment, the failure to protect our firearms industry, which he correctly characterizes as an essential component of our national defense.

Give a listen and pass it on.

ping - Dare to defend our rights.

I learned the Alabama state motto from you. Here it is again: "Audemus jura nostra defendere." How is it pronounced?

But who really knows? When was the last time anyone spoke to a citizen of ancient Rome?
