It took realizing personal vulnerability for these gays to make the choice to carry. While I applaud their choice, I'm also critical of their hypocrisy. Until it became personal, they were opposed to anyone else having the ability to defend themselves with guns. They are now feeling the sting of that hypocrisy from their fellow travelers, but absent the feeling of personal vulnerability their counterfeit ideology would still overshadow their grasp of reality.
The over-arching lesson that they haven't learned is that of America's founding principles of liberty and the proper limitations on government viz every area of life. That doesn't register on prog radar; the sooner they awaken to that verity and atone, the better. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
