I’m sorry to disagree with those of you who think that the liberals are not going to try and take away our right to bear arms. One need only look at the statements they have made consistently throughout their individual careers and at the basic fundamental belief system the current liberal base advocates. They as well as the Republicans believe the government knows better how to run your life then you do. The Republicans believe they know how to control your morals and the Democrats believe they know how to your money, your education, your health, and your rights. Guns scare liberals. An armed man or woman is a citizen and can control his or her destiny an unarmed one is a subject and can be told what to do. Liberals believe that the rights of the minority over rule the right of the majority and that if someone objects to killing fuzzy critters then no one should be able to do it. If a person breaks into your home then they have a right to be there and should not expect to get killed or maimed. A law abiding citizen should not be able to protect him or herself on the streets from a person who decides it is easier to steal than it is to work. I’m sorry folks… I believe the second amendment is there to protect the other amendments and if it comes down to it I guess I would rather be judged by 12 Texans than carried by 6 friends. I believe in the rights of the individual as well as the individual responsibility that goes with exercising of those rights. I served three tours in Vietnam and Desert Storm and Shield before I retired honorably from the service defending those rights for everyone. If an individual chooses not to defend themselves so be it but I do not believe the government (specifically a city, count, parish, or state) has the right to circumvent my right given to me by the Constitution of the United States and the blood of the thousands of servicemen and women who have died and were wounded in its defense. |
