Among the tens of thousands of people who took part in the National Rifle Association convention here, women were an obvious minority. The thing that seemed to unite them was an overwhelming enthusiasm for President Trump. An attendee passes by a large banner advertising a handgun during the NRA convention at the Georgia World Congress Center on Thursday in Atlanta. President Trump gave the keynote the address to the convention, where the women who helped him beat Hillary Clinton are sticking with him.

Ms. Jansen (God bless ya!), the reason the 'debate' isn't (and can't be) "calm" is because it is literally a life/death struggle for our liberty. When a fundamental individual right is under such relentless, unabated attack, fierce determination and vinegar is necessary in its defense. Without that intensity, defeat is a certainty.
The anti-Second Amendment people are deadly serious, and they will not let up. They must be fought with the most vicious ferocity possible.
"Calm" ain't in the equation. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
