VOTE FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT--Always part of the Ballot Great article by Harry J. Sweeney and NRA's Chris Cox from ILA ( Institute of Legislative Action)
Cross PostHJS COMMENTS: The Daily Caller’s opinion, unlike some of the opinions in the New York Times, The Washington Post, LA Times, or other Leftist Propaganda Centers, is not using “scare tactics” to drive us one way or the other so that we “get in line like everyone else” behind those whose plans for us are but sick and green and none but fools do harbor them or accept them. The Daily Caller insists our Constitution and Bill of Rights, are much more important to us than some hack of a newspaper columnist, and much more relevant than some sham of a president.
The right of self-defense was not given to us by the Second Amendment (by the way, senators, the Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting). The Second Amendment simply recognizes that self-defense is a God-given right, which means that along with the natural right of self-preservation, nothing should ever prevent one individual from protecting himself and his family from other individuals or groups meaning to do harm. As the final words of the Lord’s Prayer implores, “And deliver us from evil”.
If you grew up in the United States, you met many, many wonderful people and have lots of great friends. However, you have also met a few people whose existence is a mystery to you because they seem bent on doing harm to anyone they can, wherever they can, whenever they can. You always were aware that evil exists. You have also read newspaper articles or other material about what some call monsters who have committed despicable horrors against other men or on women and children. Do those predators have a right to exist among a population such as ours? Our laws say they do, even though we sometimes recognize that something deep inside us has questions about that. Our laws also say that we may not retaliate no matter what the gravity of the harm done against us. If someone murders our children, we have no right to go after the murderer and slay him just as he or she did to the kids. So, the only chance we have of punishing the murderer—and murderers must be punished-- is to trust our slow justice system that only works sometimes--unless we happen to be with the kids at the time they are in danger and we have the means and the sand to squeeze a tiny metal or plastic trigger, stopping the predator in its tracks.
Liberals/Leftists do not like the idea of individuals having the means or even the inclination to defend themselves. They believe that Americans should not even WANT such responsibility, that only committees should make those decisions, that we are not equipped to make a life-or-death decision on the spur of the moment, even when we are facing the ultimate danger. Doesn’t that make their constituents victims? Read Full Article
