Liberals and guns

Aunt B. takes her fellow liberals to task over their position gun control:

We’re wrong about this. And it infringes on the Constitutional rights of our fellow citizens under the guise of “making us safer.” We get annoyed when the Right does that and we need to get annoyed when we do that.

Ayup.

    Aunt B. is right on! True liberals, in that the term derives from liberty (to the people) should support the RIGHT to keep AND CARRY the means of self-defense.

    As a liberal Supreme Court Jusitce once said,

    “The closest the framers came to the affirmative side of liberty was in the right of the people to bear arms.” –William O. Douglas, 1963

  2. F-Stop Says:

    Liberal, gun owner here. I totally agree.

  3. Ron W Says:

    Here are a couple of other liberals for liberty who agreed with you, F-Stop, and for the real reason for the 2nd Amendment:

    “Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no
    matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear
    arms…. The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against
    arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote
    in America but which historically has proven to be always possible.”
    — Senator Hubert H. Humphrey

    “By calling attention to ‘a well regulated militia’, the ‘security’ of the
    nation, and the right of each citizen ‘to keep and bear arms’, our founding
    fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is
    extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny which gave rise to
    the Second Amendment will ever be a major danger to our nation, the Amendment
    still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military
    relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of
    his country. For that reason, I believe the Second Amendment will always be
    important.” –John F. Kennedy, April 1960

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
