However, I want the pro-gun community to understand that there is a group of us who needs to be confronted and corrected or — disavowed. I have been using the term "Second Amendment absolutists" to describe them in previous discussion for quite a few years. An abolutist[sic] thinks the Second Amendment allows anyone to own any gun at any time and at any location they choose.
Ed.: It isn't often that an anti-gunner submits their own anti-gun screed here. |

Somehow, procuring a gun and carrying it means killing? I have procured & carried --- however I have not killed anyone-THANKFULLY!!!!!!
You have a right to use as much force as necessary to stop an act of violence against you, just not MORE violence. If you're facing a mortal danger, that means you may use mortal force; a gun if you have it.
That ISN'T a "license" : IT'S THE LAW

It's interesting that the author differentiates between government confiscation of arms and this incident, when that is EXACTLY what happened.
I agree that a Photoshop of a dead cop with a bullet hole in his head is provocative, and I take his point about "regular guys/gals" just following the law.
But that in no way ameliorates the fact that out of one side off his mouth he decries the suggestion that government confiscation should be met with force, and out the other he says that only when the government does this is force justified.
'Tis a puzzlement.... |

"license to kill"
james bond was a fictional character that never existed, ask our military men doing hard time in leavenworth for killing terrorists against orders or strict ROE. Crime victimized citizens are prosecuted all the time when state laws (ROE) are not followed to the "t" and they shoot the perp. This writer could never be a cop or combat vet, he'd come home in a box with that passive approach "Don't fire unless fired upon". |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
