A Pronouncement of Fools

There are many among anti-gun fools who think the Second Amendment is an “anachronism and outdated.” They say things are different today, and such an amendment is no longer needed. They’re WRONG. Yes, things are different. The government, which was not “flush with money” like they are today thought of ALL THE PEOPLE as being subject to “call up” into an “organized militia” if needed, and they wanted them to bring their own guns. But the basic reason for that amendment is self defense. Intelligent people know that the way to self defense is NOT to make yourself defenseless and beg an aggressor not to kill you. If you do, they WILL kill you. But you can’t tell the anti-gun fools that. They are BLIND to reason and logic. Some of them deny the very existence of reason and logic. The important thing to note is that the Second Amendment is NOT about guns, per se. It is about SELF DEFENSE. The Founders wanted to guarantee Americans the right to self defense, by whatever means, including arms. Even from the government, itself, if necessary. That has not changed, even though, as one ignorant congressman noted, “the government has nukes” to use on you. But there are still situations where having a gun can stop a government agency from violating the rights of an individual, as one rancher recently proved. There is also the fact of the millions of ILLEGAL guns out there to be defended against. (Just common sense)
