Clinging to Guns

The author's title shows that, despite the interesting article, he just doesn't get it. Guns are the symbol, the tool. What we cling to is our liberty, and the ability to defend ourselves

The Constitution, which the guarantee of possession of arms is intended to defend, is more likely to be upheld by Obama, the Constitutional Scholar, than by any President in modern history including FDR.

So why should we believe what he says, when he has a history of supporting any legislation that removes, or has the chance to remove, guns from The People? He may call them common sense laws, but I call them steps toward tyranny. We may not have iron clad proof that an armed population prevents tyranny, but we have evidence that guns may be the only way to get out from under it. We also have many pieces of historical knowledge that an unarmed population has fallen to tyranny and genocide.

I'll keep mine thank you very much. I'll have the tool of resistance against government or the local thug. I will not give that up.
