Quote of the Day
Of all the natural rights codified in the Constitution, none — not freedom of speech, press or religion, or the ability to vote or to demand due process — had a longer or deeper history in our law and tradition than the right to defend oneself.

Gun-control wackos are actually blaming TRUMP after the shooting at Brown
Excellent point.
At least they are not blaming climate change
I’m thinking that concept has been pretty clear since Abel got outdrawn by Cain.
Even the “prince of peace”, Jesus himself told us we are supposed to defend ourselves.
“And if the good man of the house would have known in what hour the thief would come, he would have watched. And not suffered his house to be broken down.”
And that the concept was so imperative that one should sale everything down to the coat off your back to buy a gun.
“But now, he hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sale his garment and buy one.”
Yup, better to be cold, half- naked, and armed, than to be caught with no way to defend yourself.
Our forefather knew this from instinct. And how they knew EVERY tyrant to arise would try to strip you of this most basic of human rights.
And indeed, we see no difference in the tyrants of today.
Nor the way those tyrants treat the defenseless.
Stephen Halbrook cites a tradition from about 1000 years ago, in Europe. When a slave was freed (yes, believe it or not, Europe had slavery!) his former master would give him a spear and a shield — personal weapons, the sign of a free man.
I like to point out that self defense is not just a human right but in fact a natural right. Ask any Amanita.
Always like to point this out – the ability to vote is not a natural right codified in the Constitution. It is not mentioned in the Bill of Rights and is determined by the states and, constitutionally, can be modified by their legislatures.
LOL! The wackos on the left blame Trump for literally EVERYTHING. BFD!
