Not only do we have the right to be armed, under the Constitution, we have a duty to be armed.

We do not live in a pleasant world. Those who are against firearms unjustly and unfairly believe that depriving people of legal firearms makes us safer. They are wrong!

BUMP!

I agree with almost everything, except I think guns are cool.

Allan Saxe is a UT-Arlington associate professor.

See? Not all academics are liberal pinheads.

But it is a duty that should not be forced on the unwilling. A lot of people give Cassius Clay (aka Mohammed Ali) grief over his decision to avoid the draft. But at least he stood up, didn't run away, and accepted the prison sentence for his actions. It is a lot more honorable than what many other draft dodgers did.

Ali was the Heavy Weight Champion of the World at that time. He didn't have to worry about becoming a hardtimers "old lady." That's why the hippies ran! What do you expect cowards to do?

And we don't have to have no stinkin' training to qualify either.

We live in a great, and free country where even cowards can go on to be President,
rape women, lie under oath, have the wifes boyfriends murdered, and sell secrets to enemies.

the mere appearance of armed pilots and passengers might have turned things around

Exactly. The one thing the loony lefty's don't want to admit to is the deterrent value of an armed citizenry. I have come to strongly agree with the idea of Peace Through Superior Firepower.

"I have always believed that humans are inherently violent creatures. That gives no comfort to those who hope for human progress and enlightenment. But because of the violent nature of man..."

No need to read any further; the author is a fool.
