I absolutely HATE the phrase "ordered liberty" that professor Cornell uses about the book. I often hear it coming from the Religious Right, but this is the 1st time I have heard anyone on the Left use the same phrase--& I find it even more offensive in this case.

My question is this: ordered by whom? The state, or individuals? In a free country, aren't we supposed to "order" ourselves, rather than have it done by bureaucrats & politicians who think they know better than we do on how to live our lives?

“8 hours heartless, 9 years ago.”

That kills any personal story I can put out there. You win.

You’re right. Insurrectionists? They haven’t seen US insurrectionists in action. If obama and his liberal fascist/socialist cronies keep pushing though... I predict we’ll see it, oh yeah, we’ll see it.

The kicker is after 8 hours at 65 degree's in a tub of ice during surgery, after I received my required "2" thumps of juice to get my heart going again, my first request was a glass of ice water...

Hi Lori!

If all guns were banned, outlaws would use knives and ball bats - still no peace.

I actually know three Liberal Democrats who own guns.

When I point out their utter hypocrisy, they tell me that Pistols and Assault Weapons are the problem. Then I ask the obvious question that every Liberal cannot answer, WHAT IS an Assault Weapon?

To a man, their first description is an Automatic Weapon. Their ignorance only pales to their stupidity.

They also have no answer when I ask them if they could guarantee the safety of my family if they got their wish that guns are made illegal. I always remind them that murder is already illegal, yet thousands of people are murdered each and every year.

Typical D@mocrat dishonesty & double talk - try to label people who insist on the 'rule of law' [including a a literal reading of the Second Amendment, and the rest of the Constitution, and the enforcement thereof] as "insurrectionists."

Goebbels would have been proud of 'em...

Saul Cornell, a professor at Ohio State University and one of the nation’s leading gun control proponents, says this book “is an important first step in demonstrating how reasonable gun control is essential to the survival of democracy and ordered liberty.”

"Never forget that the only reason anyone has for wanting to take your guns away is so make you weaker than them so they can do something to you that they couldn't do if you had the means to resist. That goes double for politicians and police." L. Neil Smith.

When you criminalize guns, only Criminals will have guns.

That’s silly - when they criminalize guns, they’ve violated our constitutional right and a fight will ensue shortly when they come try to take them.

I'll be honored to carry along the tradition of an insurrectionist, the foremost example being General George Washington, who did not defeat the British by exercising his right to free speech.

With his fellow insurrectionists, he exercised his right to keep and bear arms and waged war until they surrendered.

“the means to resist”

That’s Article II of the Code of Conduct before it was PCized:

“I will never surrender as long as I have the means to resist. If in command I will never surrender my men as long as they have the means to resist.”

One of the things the “Professor” forgets is that when martial law is declared the “intellectual” class is one of the first to be rounded up - and not by the SA people. Since i will not live long enough to make it to a camp someone else will have to point hiss folly out to him in the small cell they share.
