They are stupidly chasing a pipe-dream of sweet harmony and light, and Fred Rogers gentleness and bonhomie dangled in front of them by the real gun-haters: employers and politicians, people who have reason to believe they aren't all that beloved for the way they treat people and lie to them.
They're thinking of their own safety -- they will always be well-protected, as witness former New York Mayor Ed Koch and his New York carry permit -- to the exclusion of ours. Sorry, but you can't arm yourself, you make me nervous. So what if you get robbed and shot and bleed out? The point is, your having weapons makes me nervous. Don't take your eye off the ball here -- my nervousness and shaky conscience, not your bleeding-out. Try to pay attention.

Agreed.
But those bastards who mean us and our liberties harm should know this, and know it well;
I will ALWAYS have a gun. So will MILLIONS of others just like me. If even one-third of the gun owners in this country stand up, the global one-worlders have a REAL problem.
The 2nd Amendment: By any means necessary.
