Gingrich has never been anything by a ruling class elitist. The question of firearms ownership is the absolute, Vulcan mind-meld issue that divides those who believe that they have the right to dictate the terms of existence to us from those who of us who believe that no such 'right' exists.

Those who presume to tell you that you have no right to defend yourself, your family or your property are not merely holding the the United States Constitution, The Bill of Rights and in particular, the Second Amendment in contempt - what they are really saying is that you have no right to your own life. To them, you are a thing, an animal, or a machine. Nothing more.

They are declaring their supremacy over you by holding the value your life as little more - and often less - than a wheelbarrow full of bricks.

THAT's who we're dealing with. And as history has shown us, the ultimate destination of that outlook is something far worse than slavery.

Gingrich, for all of his talk, is no friend of human freedom.

Gingrich is an utter repudiation of everything the tea party stands for.

Your observations regarding the right to defend yourself are excellent. Note that even animals and plants have natural defense mechanisms that are not “given” to them by others.
