Andrew has written an excellent essay. Several other writers, notably Mike Vanderboegh, David Codrea, and myself have been saying the same thing.

The political reason for the Second Amendment is valid and vital.

Never go peaceably.

There’s a noteworthy paragraph from the book, “Unintended Consequences”:

“There is a name for a society where only the police have guns. It is called a police state. The Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights is not about duck hunting, any more than the First Amendment is about playing Scrabble. The entire Bill of Rights is about individual freedom.”

The media are cowards calling for government to commit violence.

“We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.” ― Col. Nathan R. Jessup

Hi.

G-d granted me the natural right to self defense long before there was a Constitution or me.

betcha the aussies were wishing they had their guns.

We’ve let the left control the narrative for far too long.

[nagant]

The American right must acknowledge the association of guns with violence, while rejecting the fallacy that all violence is evil.
~~~~

The Left bombard us with statistics showing that “homicides” decrease when guns are outlawed. Hello! The definition of “homicide” is one person killing another person. Well yeah, when a gun owner kills an attacker, that’s a “homicide”. It’s a reason to continue gun ownership protections.

Countries which outlaw gun ownership outlaw the right of self defense. Don’t let the Left get away with this lie.

The political reason for the Second Amendment is valid and vital.

The Second Amendment is only a valid deterrent, to criminals both private and public, it is USED from time to time.

No one has the stomach for that any more... but our Nation is at a crisis point. Something is going to break.
