#1 The fact that the MSM all over the world is concerned with American guns should be a wake up call to all gun owners, and to people who don't own guns but believe in firearm freedom.

Mark my words. The two brass rings that the left want to grasp are socialized medicine and gun control in the U.S. Having gotten those, the American Revolution will have been essentially revoked, and replaced with the meme descendants of the French Revolution, pretty much permanently.

#2 That's a surprisingly fair and accurate piece. I especially like the last line.

Posing that T-shirt slogan so baldly, it actually might make some people think.

#3 I've always boggled at the left. They use the 1st Amendment as their battle flag, but in the same breath try to tell us that the 2nd Amendment is meaningless and outdated. It's the 2nd goddamned amendment, pretty high up on the list, dont you think?

#4 Without the second amendment, the rest of 'em become academic pretty quickly...

#5 You clearly just do not understand, you redneck hillbilly. The second amendment referred to the right for a country to have a military armed with those horrible killers of innocent people. We'll deal with the military separetly, like the Swedish model.

#6 the kind of military hardware normally reserved for private armies

Private armies? Is that a Turkish thing?

#8 "...he has no time for Arizona Senator John McCain and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, the current Republican favorites."

Rudy said as recently as of today that he supports the 2nd amendment but believes it should be up to individual states to decide their own laws regarding firearms. Unless I'm missing something that is quite a bastardization of Federalism.

#9 Rudy believes in laws like NYC, New Jersey and California have, that is to say no Second Amendment rights at all. McCain follows closely behind him.
