What are we doing to tell the world the truth, "When guns are outlawed, then only the outlaws have guns"
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among these the right to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Defending one’s own life is a natural, God-given right.
It’s too bad the British were brainwashed to surrender this.
Communism requires its citizens to be unarmed. And if per chance you have a gun and defend yourself, you have committed a violent crime. Communism protect the criminal. We are damn near there.
The only reason private citizens can still own guns is the 2nd Amendment. The staunchest, and most effective, defender of the 2nd Amendment is the NRA. Private gun ownership of guns is the biggest impediment to the liberals goal of a totalitarian socialist state and they know it. Many of them have said publicly repeal of the 2nd Amendment is one of their highest goals. If Obama is reelected expect a renewed and furious attack on private guns and the 2nd Amendment. I am a Life Member of the NRA and a Florida CCW holder and donate money their legal fund. Gun owners have been having a few good years but liberals never give up and never go away. We could lose it all is we relax our vigilance any.
Florida already has self defense laws, including castle doctrine and stand your ground laws.
Prosecuiter Angela Corey has just nullified them.
Based on his record, I don't expect any better behavior from the presumptive GOP nominee.
Just wondering... does England have something like the 2nd Amendment codified into whatever their equivalent is of our constitution?
‘The “Aftermath Of Travon”: How The English Lost The Right To...’
How can you lose a right??
Unfortunately no.
The police where well aware of the mental instability of both ,Ryan and Hamilton, and chose to do nothing about the two lunatics. It was the excuse the idiots where looking for. The mass hysteria that followed was wiped up by a useful Idiot on Talk radio. The ownership of almost any Gun is still permitted, as long as it is converted to a carbine, licensed and kept locked away. [s]The strange thing is how gun and knife crime spiralled almost instantly after the ban, considering that concealed carry was already illegal in a public place.[/s]
When 'rights' are merely bestowed by man, they can be added to or removed at whim. The only rights that are inviolate are those given by God. IF there is no God, there are no inviolate rights.
Romney was not my pick, Newt was, but I don’t think he’s a communist bent on destruction of the country. I think Obama is. Romney has said he had to work with very liberal state legislature and sometimes compromised his beliefs to get things done. Even if that’s not entirely true I still believe he would have to be a better President than the Kenyan.
Better in what sense? That he will reverse the direction the current administration has taken on the 2nd Amendment, health care, larger and more invasive government, etc., or that he will merely slow down the progress towards a socialist society with its ruling elite?
Remember the next time you have to go the DMV; The DMV was started as a registry of automobiles and their owners. Now look what it has become.
It is the nature of government to grow; It is the responsibility of a citizen to keep that from happening.
If our 'press' had their way, this is how we'd be forced to live too. Thank God for the NRA and our wise founding fathers...
Samuel Adams was too kind and didn't utilize the term 'useful idiots'.
It is better to die on your feet. Than live on your knees. Simply put. It would mean war.
“merely slow down the progress towards a socialist society with its ruling elite?”
At this point that may be the best we can expect. Despite watching it fail and destroy millions of people in the 20th century the United States seems determined to become a socialist state. Unless we can prevent stupid people and parasites from voting, and I don’t think we can, the United States will become a socialist state and subsequently fail completely.
I wonder if this Travon person is related to that TraYvon kid?
Then let it fail now! If we are men, we should not make our children fight the war we are unwilling to fight when we had the chance.
