In The Battle Over Gun Rights, Only One Side Has Any Ammo.

The tolerant left love telling you what you can and can not do, say or even think. Until they disagree with what you do, say or think.

Take Mr. Garvey here for instance. Brian Garvey disagrees with the second amendment, enough in point of fact to actually advocate the wholesale murder of as much as half of the country because he wants the government to have a monopoly on force. Which is funny, considering how I'm pretty sure he would be happy to  declare his  political enemies to be fascist authoritarians in a bit of classic projection.

That is speculation of course. Maybe on every issue other than gun control Mr. Garvey is a rock ribbed conservative, I doubt it... but it is possible. The real meat of the issue is that the pro gun control side of the debate, at least the side that doesn't think gun control means using two hands, have so very few facts to base their statements on.

Apologies to those affected by the senseless slaughter, but I think the point here is obvious, except to those who make a living out of taking offense.

A Modest Response

This Facebook post deserved one.

An Open Letter to Dianne Feinstein

Dear Senator Feinstein,

I know that I don't live in your state anymore (for which I am grateful), but the decisions you make and the changes you attempt affect people all over the nation, not just those that elected you.

I know you hate guns. You've hated guns for years. Guns can be used to do terrible things, like kill innocent children. (Not nearly so many as the Planned Parenthood abortion mills you so dearly love, but that's another letter.) You like to claim that so-called "assault weapons" are useless for "self-defense, hunting or target shooting," as though those were the only possible reasons for the Founding Fathers to create the Second Amendment.

A quick google search would disabuse you of this notion.

The Founders fought against a tyrannical ruler, imposing his will from a far away throne. They used the best technology available at the time to free themselves from his rule, and as a hedge against the re-imposition of that rule, or the threat of a despot taking control from within, they gave us  the Second Amendment, which allows the citizens to keep and bear arms, which right shall not be infringed by the Federal Government.

Today, we Americans find ourselves besieged by a Federal Government overstepping its bounds, whether legislative, as through the unConstitutional imposition of a federal health care mandate, in the middle of the night,through deception and political malfeasance, or by Imperial fiat via Executive Orders from a President who recognizes no legal limits to his power, or via a Supreme Court which interprets the law according to their ideology and desires, rather than the letter and intent of the law.

Many among us fear the time is near when our beloved nation, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave,  will no longer be worthy of the title, and will take arms against its citizens in an attempt to subdue them and coerce them to submit to the national will. I pray this time never comes, but can no  longer avoid the belief that it is possible.

I don't need assault weapons to defend myself or my family. I can use my handguns or  my shotguns for that. I need assault weapons to defend against a superior force of similarly armed assailants come to deprive me of the Rights Given to me by God, and guaranteed to me under the Constitution. In short, I  need assault weapons to defend me from YOU.

Sincerely,

Arik

I have not vetted this letter, which was apparently first posted today as received by the Guns Across America - Montana Facebook page, but it appears to be authentic. According to Examiner.com, Sheriff Rummel is one of some 127 sheriffs who have pledged not to enforce proposed federal gun bans.


In any case, I thought it was worth sharing.


Many other sheriffs across the nation have similarly addressed the issue, but Rummel's piece seems to get to the heart of the matter, even citing a God-given right to self defense and protection against despotism.


If it gets picked up, the MSM should have a lovely hemorrhage with this.

LETTER FROM SHERIFF TOM RUMMEL OF SANDERS COUNTY

Comprehensive Firearms Reform

Today's society seems to be divided into two distinct groups regarding guns and gun control: gun grabbers and gun nuts. There are very few people who fall into the neutral "don't give a crap" category.

With the presence of so-called "assault weapons" allowing lunatics to kill large numbers of people with relative ease and the convenience of not having to reload very often. and the propensity of these lunatics to take their weapons into so-called "gun-free zones," it is obvious something needs to be done.

I have a solution.
