"Anyone making that statement when talking about gun control and war and peace is disingenuous at best or incredibly naive".



Some folks think they just need to make a wish, and we will go away. They keep praying I will trade my legacy of freedom for their brand of security. Why won't Rudy stay in New York, and work to restore full freedom there? That would impress me!
How about it, Rudy fans, are you really, truly, Republicans, or, just another flavor of democrap?



The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

What is it with that?

They keep hawking a candidate for POTUS who will have to take an oath to 'protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies...' and they have a proven track record as one of those enemies, at least as far as the 2nd Amendment is concerned.

McCain has a track record as an enemy of the First Amendment, so forget him for POTUS, too. How could they even be sworn in?

I continue to refuse to vote for any proponent of gun control, regardless of what ticket they run on. I will retain my ability to 'vote from the rooftops', in extremis, and continue to pray I will never need to use it.
