Absolutely. By the way, that quote from Savage made my day! Our lawmakers should be required to read all the objective and scholary research that clearly demonstrates that the possession of firearms by law-abiding citizens actually decreases the commission of violent crimes.

I'm a CCW holder, and, for example, you can check the state of Florida on how many firearms-related offenses have been committed by CCW permit holders in the last few years. Anti-gun advocates, if they haven't already read and ignored the data, would be surprised.

They could start with John Lott’s highly acclaimed and thoroughly researched book. But I doubt that facts would make much difference to them. They’d rather pander to emotionalism and the anti-gun lobby just as they ignore the Constitution in favor of the ethnocentric and business special interest groups who support the illegal alien invasion.

The intrinsic right to national sovereignty and the Constitutional right to bear arms both come together at some point.

Great point! I’m a Florida resident who owns a firearm, although not CCW. I’ll add another observation to yours. When FL was hit with one of the recent hurricanes, my county was devastated. We had no power, no phones, etc. The police were nonexistent. The destruction was widespread and the roads completely impassible. WE WERE ON OUR OWN! For me, this situation went on for more than a week. I had my gun to protect myself from any looters or other criminals. And guess what? There was virtually NO serious crime during this catastrophe. And the reason is that the potential criminals knew that many Floridians were armed. Compare that with the anarchy and criminal warfare of New Orleans, a liberal and anti-gun Mecca. By the way, I can tell you about a personal experience that illustrates the difference between an extreme anti-gun state and Florida.
