Second Nature

 First, “Is it important for men to own firearms to be able to answer the call to oppose tyranny, or in other words, does the militia have a valid role in today’s society?”  We may answer, yes, and in the superlative in today’s society. Second, “Should compulsory militia membership be required as a precondition for firearms ownership?”  To which we may answer, the mere asking of the question betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the source of our rights, the history of colonial America, God’s expectations for us, and the reasons for the Bill of Rights. [More]

To believe otherwise is to advocate for prior restraints on rights you have no claim to.
