If we believe that the Declaration of Independence is correct and we are "endowed" with "unalienable" rights, including the Second Amendment, then those rights come from a source beyond and superior to the state and as such can only be relinquished to the state by our own craven acts of mental and physical capitulation.This is quite simply a brilliant analysis that needed to be said and now needs to be read. Go and do so, and share its url far and wide.
Well done, Mr. Case, and thank you.

The best part:
ReplyDelete"All ranks of men amongst us are in arms. Nothing is heard now in our streets but the trumpet and the drum; and the universal cry is ‘Americans, to arms!’ We are making powder fast and do not want for ammunition… The God of mercy will, I hope, open the eyes of our king that he may see, while in seeking our destruction, he will go near to complete his own."
Truly an excellent article! I'm busy as hell here this morning, but I couldn't tear myself away from reading every word.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Every time I read something like that I ask myself: is X rounds enough?
ReplyDeleteWhat I have is more than I'll (personally) use, but is it "enough" in the bigger context?
I don't want to find out. If I do end up finding out, I _really_ don't want the answer to be: Nope, not enough.
Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteSounds good on the surface, but a little deeper reading uncovers a link (titled "secret state agreements") to a website called FourWinds10.com.
According to this group, God is a StarFleet Commander who's fleet is now circling the earth in order to help us progress from our 3rd Dimension existence into a 5th Dimension form. Jesus is apparently his XO. No details of what a "5th Dimension" would be like are provided.
It kinda goes downhill from there.
I could have done without that little bit of lunacy.

That information about the military agreement was on Drudge and other news sites earlier, where it's linked to now does not detract from the usefulness of the information, or it's relevance and truth. In this case "reading a little deeper" does nothing to change the facts, nor does it devalue the excellence of Mr. Case's essay.- J.B.
