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. -- MaxedOutMamaI don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du ToitThe 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 KnishAll politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck
Stupid Should Hurt
By far the most viewed, upvoted and commented on answer I have ever given at Quora was a question about concealed-carry vs. open carry. I mentioned it here a little while ago.
Since the three mass shootings last week I've been answering a slew of gun control questions. Someone I respect over on Facebook today posted about this yo-yo: "You're presuming guilt of a crime he hasn't committed. Want attention, surely. Up to no good? Debatable."
Here
we're going to part company. Somebody shows up at a public venue
carrying a long gun who is not obviously law enforcement, I'm going to
assume the worst and try to put them down. I'm glad the firefighter
didn't dump a mag into this idiot, but had he I would have voted to
acquit. The "debate" can occur in the courtroom. If he was wrong, only
ONE person would have been shot.
I'm glad the CCW carrier didn't do a mag-dump into the idiot, but if he had I would vote to acquit.
It may not be illegal to walk around in public tacticooled out, but it's STUPID, and stupid should hurt.
