RE: Liberals NEED Guns (They Just Haven't
Figured It Out Yet)
While your editorial "Guns & Stiff
Upper Lips" was absolutely on target about the abject failure of victim
disarmament in Great Britain, this is merely one more inconvenient fact to be
ignored by the gun control crowd and their media lapdogs (TWT excluded, of
course). For two decades I have argued the facts, logic, history and law of the
Second Amendment with uncounted liberals without changing one mind.
These days, I do not waste my breath. When some
pompous advocate of victim disarmament is impolitic enough to announce for gun
confiscation in my presence, I merely nod my head, pause, and then apologize to
him in advance that I will be forced to kill any number of people, including
perhaps him, to maintain my liberty if his policy is adopted.
I point out that in order to get my guns he
will have to kill me, my family, and all my friends. I further observe that if
even ten percent of American gun owners feel the way I do, he's going to have to
kill upwards of 8.5 million of his fellow citizens to implement his proposal,
and that doesn't count all the gun-grabbing pukes like him that we'll kill in
righteous self-defense before we meet our Maker, and we intend to make that more
than a one-to-one ratio.
I conclude by asking them, "Is gun control
worth your life, and that of millions of others? If not, shut up. But if so,
you'd better arm yourself. You're gonna NEED a gun."
Even so, I thank the Lord every day for the
unintended consequences of British gun control. Without it, we wouldn't have a
country or a Constitution. General Gage's troops weren't out at Lexington and
Concord looking for printing presses. And the Minutemen weren't so foolish as to
arm themselves with picket signs. Tyrants don't care what their subjects think,
but they are scared to death of people who possess the tools of resistance and
the will to use them.
