Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. -- MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.-- Moshe Ben-David

The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been "liberated" to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it's because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it's because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. -- Sultan Knish

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

I Just Got a Call from The Second Amendment Foundation

Is it too much to ask when you're begging for money that the beggars know something about what they're begging for?

The elderly lady on the phone called to advise me that "a case" was going to the Supreme Court from the 9th Circuit "having to do with the 2nd Amendment." She just couldn't tell me which one. Or anything about it.

I gave the SAF $100 back when they were running the appeal of Silveira v. Lockyer, and at the time I couldn't really afford it. Now the SAF is worse than the NRA at begging. Letters, phone calls, emails, it's non-stop. The case going before SCOTUS now is US v. Stewart. I don't think it's anywhere near as strong as Silveira was.

No, you don't get my money right now. At least let's see if SCOTUS grants cert. first.
