Ryan Cleckner told Mark Steyn on Monday's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that Biden was completely wrong about the supposed danger of a Texas law allowing firearms to be carried in houses of worship.
"If [Biden] he has his way, there would be a lot more people dead in that church," Cleckner said.

"The government doesn't give us the right to carry in church..."
The government isn't the proprietor of the right, the individual citizen is, therefore the government can't 'give' us something to which it has no claim. What it can (and must) do is to respect our liberty and honor the Constitution that protects it.
The notion that the right didn't exist before the government 'granted' it is nonsense.
The default in this country is individual liberty. Liberty is not a benefit dispensed by government. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
