What the liberals cannot comprehend is that the Second Amendment is merely an affirmation of a natural, God-given right. It needs no court precedent to prevail, and it prevails regardless of new court proceedings. It exists because we are free, not because a majority of judges decide we can have it. It exists because it is outside the authority of judicial activism. It exists because the United States of America exists. And it will ensure its own survival, regardless of which way the judicial wind blows. Survival of the Republic is what it is all about. It's not about sport. It's not about hunting. It's not about politics.
Molon labe.
There are any number of natural and/or God-given rights. None of them has the least legal status unless some legislature and/or court affirms it. Hobbes tells me that, having been sentenced to death for, say, blowing up an orphanage, I have a perfectly natural right to kill my jailers (or anyone else) in order to escape execution. Shall we conservatives stand on the sidelines and cheer as killers exercise their natural rights in such circumstances? I hope not. That’s part of what it means to live under a government of laws, not of men.
