The Greenup County Fiscal Court passed a resolution on Tuesday, joining the growing list of Kentucky counties passing similar resolutions in support of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Proposed gun regulations and gun bans, such as those proposed in the state of Virginia, have sparked the support of such resolutions. Many have voiced the opinion that such proposed gun laws are attacks not only on the Second Amendment, but also on individual freedoms in general. |

“I just want to ask you, please don’t take the right away from law-abiding citizens."
Consider the tone and structure of that sentence. It's as if this is a subject is pleading before the king.
This is what we've come to. I thank this person for being there in earnest advocacy, but I submit that his lack of understanding of our constitutional republic is alarming.
We do not beg our governments not to take away fundamental rights. We DEMAND that they obey constitutional limitations, and when they don't, we refuse to comply.
This may sound like nitpicking, but it isn't. It goes to the core of our liberty. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
