Few things raise the hair on the back of your neck, and make you jump up and down, like a rat crawling up your pants leg. That’s what happened to my brother one summer when we were visiting the family farm in Vernon, Texas. We were about 17 and 12 (I’m the younger one) and had been exploring the barn. We found a nest behind some hay bales; I can still hear J.R.’s instructions: “I’ll hit ’em with this stick, and if they run shoot them with the shotgun.”

Unclear on the concept.
Shooting vermin and pests isn't something the government must 'allow', it is something the government must prove is unduly dangerous to prohibit.
Leftists' view of liberty v. government is exactly upside-down. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
