Don’t forget “Constitutionalists”. Feebies and other “law over principle” types hate us and use the term “Constitutionalist” as a pejorative.

"The great object is, that every man be armed. [...] Every one who is able may have a gun." - Patrick Henry, speech of June 14 1788.

"Such are a well regulated militia, composed of the freeholders, citizen and husbandman, who take up arms to preserve their property, as individuals, and their rights as freemen." - "M.T. Cicero", in a newspaper letter of 1788 touching the "militia" referred to in the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

"That the said Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United states who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms..." - Samuel Adams, in Phila. Independent Gazetteer, August 20, 1789.

"The danger (where there is any) from armed citizens, is only to the 'government', not to 'society'; and as long as they have nothing to revenge in the government (which they cannot have while it is in their own hands) there are many advantages in their being accustomed to the use of arms, and no possible disadvantage." - Joel Barlow, Advice to the Privileged Orders, 1792-93

I found out long ago that too many in Government view Morris Dees' bunch (SPLC) as "authoritative" when it comes down to who thinks what, and even some on this site have quoted some of that spew.

Yep, there are some folks out there I disagree with and would not want running the show, but plenty more who are demonized by leftist hate mongers who are considered to be purveyors of gospel.
