“I am a fan of the Second Amendment. I am a firearms enthusiast. I’m a hunter. I enjoy target shooting. I also believe the Constitution of the United States gives us the right to keep and bear arms,” Lee said.
Once and for all, GUDDAMMIT, the Constitution does not GIVE us the right to bear arms, it GUARANTEES it.
He really thinks he's on the "right side," while accepting that transient opinion is the origin of liberty, and conceding that it is subject to majoritarian impulses.
"Living Constitution," anyone?
Well, you ain't on the right side until you actually understand the first founding principle of our country. Believing that it is the written word that endows basic rights ain't it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
