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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
