Love it. Right from the get-go, they twist the argument away from the actual basis of “individual liberty” into a question of “public safety”.
Of course they have their precious “first amendment” by which they can propagate any kind of lies, distortions, and omissions they want.
Wonder what they’d be saying if government agents were at their door pointing guns at them and smashing their printing presses? Bet they’d sing a dam different tune then!
All men have a right to defend themselves. That has ALWAYS been the case. The point of militias is that at times, the government will have to help any/all ordinary men.
