The poster does not necessarily agree with nor endorse all of the views expressed by the author; however, he is right about what the 2nd is all about and what its ALWAYS been about.

At what extra tax rate and annual registration fees will it take to sort of by-pass that pesky 2nd amendment? Oh, and we can call it an investment.

A former talk-radio host, he is also the author of ten books…

I don’t remember him being a host. I remember him having a top-of-the-hour, Paul Harvey-type segment on the local AM station in Medford, OR. He’d always sign off with “This is Alan Stang… Think about it.”

My grandfather would try to stop the world to listen to his segment. “Shhh! Alan Stang is on,” etc. He also subscribed to The Spotlight and never paid income taxes. But then the JBS disappeared and so did Alan Stang. I’ve never heard anything about him (until this) since about 1976.

I agree with what the poster agrees or doesn't agree with.

I really liked listening to Alan Stang, and agree with what he wrote. It is pretty scary and I understand what he means by "but I would say no, not yet, because we still have the vote, the Bill of Rights and the Internet. I hope I'm not wrong" With so few people paying attention to what is happening to our freedom, I wonder how long we have?

[Bogolyubski]

Mr. Stang raises a very interesting question: At what point does a government become an oppressive, totalitarian regime whose overthrow in morally justified? Is the USA there yet? Only an irrational person would say so. We do still have the ability to vote, to own guns, the right of self-defense, to make un-PC political statements. What about England? Gun ownership banned, free speech banned, right to self-defense (even with non-leathal weapons) banned - Yes, I think the case can be made there. While the Brits can still vote in elections, how long will that last if things keep going to hell there? Could they really turn the totalitarian clock back in an election? Or, are the elections just a sham? When I think about how it is in the rest of the world - even supposedly free countries like England, I realize how much freedom we have here - and how important it is to preserve it.

Why we need guns is simple. There is no way that the average American woman or elderly person will ever be able to defend herself from the average 20-ish male American felon - even with Mace, even if facing just one such felon. After all, predominantly large male police carrying Mace invariably also carry guns - for a reason.

GUN REVIEWS free from ad-money bias - emphasizing woman-friendliness of tested guns!

Get all these pro-English Empire bozos who oppose free firearms rights to comment as they are shot in the streets in places like Zimbabwe and London.

If we fall, where is there to go?

Please God, send them to France. The people smell good there.

[Auntie Dem]

When liberals say they can't think of a single reason why anyone would need a gun, they're being disingenuous. They know EXACTLY why we need guns. We need guns for three reasons: To kill criminals, tyrants, and dictators before they kill us. Liberals fear guns so much because they are all three of those!

[NewRomeTacitus]

Now's a good time to remind everyone that Schumer is trying to sneak another bill under the radar that would effectively disarm millions of Americans, called the "Our Lady of Peace Act." Hillary's the "lady" and she'd sleep much more peacably if we lesser beings were unable to defend ourselves.
