Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. -- MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.-- Moshe Ben-David

The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been "liberated" to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it's because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it's because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. -- Sultan Knish

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

I'm Sorry the Lesson Cost You So Much, Mr. Zumbo

(Via Uncle)

Jim Zumbo has written an epistle concerning the Second Amendment and his fateful post. I think he really does get it now. As he said,
If I ever, in my wildest dreams, thought the words I had written would bring the validity of the Second Amendment into question, I assure you I never would have touched my fingers to the keypad.
"(G)ame departments should ban them from the praries(sic) and woods"? I believe you, but dude, how tired were you?

I'm glad you understand. Now, would you please take some time and explain it - using small words - to the "many who understood and agreed with (your) original intent"? Because they obviously don't get it.

If New Jersey can legally proclaim a 17-shot Marlin Model 60 to be an "assault firearm," a "highly dangerous offensive weapon," then anything can be - and hunters and benchresters and clay shooters and the rest had better all figure that out.
