#1 A pointed question...

"Professor, what sociable widget,
Positioned where coeds could reach it,
Blocks unwanted hookups
And town-on-gown stickups,
Promoting politeness collegiate?"

#2 And 26 acts of rape stopped in their tracks when the women pulled out their handguns

That's why the State objects to guns. Women, and other "oppressed minorities" should look to the State to protect them.

#3 The state thinks everyone should look to them for everything.

Which is why they oppose guns, capitalism, freedom, etc.

#4 Before todays 2nd Amendment "extremists", before there was a republic, and while the colonies were under the rule of the British Empire, those who wanted independence were labeled rebels and barbarians. They were opposed by the most powerful army in the l, armed colonial loyalists and German Hession troops. The odds the patriots were up against were far greater than Constitutionalists are today yet they succeeded.

And so can we.

#5 Well, Unelet, I hate to be the one to rain on your parade---but, IMHO, they were different breed of men.

#6 The odds the patriots were up against were far greater than Constitutionalists are today yet they succeeded.

There were also issues within the British Empire that were advantageous to the American rebellion.

But that's History. Nobody follows History.

#7 issues within the British Empire

And the French without.

Nobody follows History.

"I'm tired, and my tuchus is blistery,"
Complained a great student of History.
"The thing that pursues me
To tailgate and bruise me,
Refuting my views, is a mystery."
