I had a discussion at work with a woman who I highly respect and like...and she said “People shouldn’t be able to own assault weapons...who needs to hunt with that?”
I stopped her and gently said the 2nd Amendment has nothing at all to do with hunting or target shooting, but is there to protect us from other people, and ultimately, from our own government. I also asked who gets to define what an “assault rifle” is?
Unfortunately, folks like her have been dumbed down so that they have no concept of just how much of a threat the other side is.
Some can be reached, others can’t, and won’t.
At the end of the day, it’s a decision each of us must make. Every man has a moment of truth, and it’s usually faced alone, and with our backs to the wall.
I’m an American. This is a Right, period. I’m law-abiding right until the point that the Law threatens my life, and then all bets are off.
If we’re to call ourselves Free People, we’d better damn well be ready to act like it, and fight to protect it.
By any means necessary.
