Might as well turn them in bullets-first.
I read this a couple of days ago but I keep going back to the Blog and re-reading it.
It's really an excerpt of a larger piece but this is the part I was interested in. The link works if you want to look at the whole thing.
Kinda sticks with you...
Might as well turn them in bullets-first.
Would be a good unedited full-page ad.

It’s a Natural Right, endowed upon each person by our Creator (to quote a turn of phrase). If there is a Right to Life, or Liberty, or Happiness, then it naturally follows that the ability to defend the same is a Natural Right.
If you can’t defend it, you don’t really possess it.
Screwing with it may lead to unintended consequences.
well when the balloon finally goes up, just make sure the media gets paid that long over due visit first!! I lay all the blame on them. period.
You only have the rights that you fight for and defend.
The United States and its constitutional form of government are the occasional anomaly in the history of man.
The rest of history is littered with kings, queens, lords, rulers, despots, warlords, serfs, peasants, slaves, and a constant back and forth between the conquering, and the conquered.
That dynamic isn’t going to change any time soon.
“The Second Amendment only constrains government (and we see how well that’s working, 30,000 deliberate infringements later) by design, from interfering in any wise with a natural law right to self-defense, and its means by the most practical current expedients. It’s an unalienable right.”
That “The Second Amendment only constrains government” doesn’t make sense based on the rest of the words above.
The Second Amendment states and acknowledges “The right of the people to keep and bear arms” as an existing right not a right granted by government. If “It’s an unalienable right”, its statement and acknowledgement as such in the Second Amendment, constrains not just government but also others from violating it just like they are constrained from violating the right to life and the right to liberty. Furthermore, “to secure these rights governments are instituted among men” so governments are instituted to secure this right and therefore must constrain others from violating it.
All that lives has the right to self defense.
Chase down a stray cat and grab a hold of it bare handed for a quick lesson in self defense.
Molon Labe, Baby!!!
It is important to note that while the Constitution enshrined some natural rights, it did not create them.
Anyone know when his term is up? How liberal is rural Minnesota?
The reason for the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting or self defense. Try to figure out the real reason for it yourself. I will not tell you.
Someone posted an in-depth analysis of the 2nd the other day - result was the it didn’t give us right to bear arms - it acknowledges the existing God-given right and merely expounds that the government can’t infringe on it because the armed People have to be able to defend themselves against a rogue government.
People are frightened by the thought of one pissed-off teenager with a rifle.
They have no inkling of the nightmare that hundreds of furious adults with rifles, and skill, and a plan, could bring to their peaceful little world, should a gun confiscation be attempted. And that’s just from one little town. The next town has even more.
I’ve heard that American deer hunters alone make up the second largest infantry in the world, behind only the Chinese. Do the gun-grabbers really think they can pull off their wet dream of full disarmament? Seriously?
