With all the hoopla over the Blair Holt gun control bill, and gun control in general, I thought I'd share a few of these comments and quotes that a former dojo-mate and student sent to me tonight.
And before you jump on my case about any of the holes in some of these, they are not intended (here) as serious commentary. They are the equivalent of bumper stickers -- and I suspect that quite a few of them ARE bumper stickers.
Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.
Colt: the original point-and-click interface.
Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.
If guns are outlawed, can we use swords? (hell, yes!)
If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words, and matches cause arson.
Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.
If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.
Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All Rights Reserved.
What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?
The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others.
64,999,987 firearm owners killed no one yesterday.
Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.
You don't shoot to kill, you shoot to stay alive.
911: Government-sponsored dial-a-prayer.
Assault is a behavior, not a device.
Criminals love gun control, it makes their jobs safer.
Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them. (Remember, remember, the 5th of November...)
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
When you remove the people's right to bear arms, you create slaves.
