Dear people, the events of Sept. 11 demonstrated clearly to one and all that
the government cannot protect you. It cannot protect your loved ones. It
cannot protect our borders. It cannot even protect the biggest, tallest
buildings - the very heart of our economy and financial system.
I'll tell you something. I'll let you in on a little secret. I've been
packing heat ever since Sept. 11. I'm locked and loaded. I'm just waiting
for one of Osama bin Laden's suicide artists to show up around me, my family
or my business. Because that's exactly what he will be doing - committing
suicide.
Not only should Americans be arming themselves as never before - cognizant
of the fact that their very freedom, their very way of life, their very
lives may depend upon it - we should also be exposing the attempts by
government to disarm us incrementally.
That process must come to a screeching halt.
The founding fathers didn't craft the Second Amendment to the Constitution
because they were concerned about hunting rights. They were concerned about
two things and two things only - that Americans could defend themselves
adequately against foreign threats and that they could hold their own
government accountable for transgressions of freedom.
The only kind of hunting I'm interested in is hunting down terrorists like
dogs.
Never before in American history have we faced a combination of those
threats as we do today.
It's time to let Washington know that homeland security begins with an armed
and vigilant populace - constantly on guard for threats in our own
community. We'll never be secure in our liberty if we rely exclusively on
armed government agents to protect us. In fact, it is a recipe for
disaster - a prescription for loss of freedom.
I'm shocked that the National Rifle Association has not made this point
emphatically in the last two months. Never before have those of us who
understand how vital an armed populace is to the preservation of freedom had
a better opportunity to make our case.
For most of our history, America has been insulated from foreign threats. No
more.
The war has come home. Americans want to do more. They want to take
responsibility. They want to fight back.
Now is the time. This is the way. Get yourself a gun. Learn how to shoot.
Demand your government roll back all the anti-gun legislation of the last 25
years. Insist airline pilots be armed.
If Osama bin Laden and his supporters want a war on American soil, let's
give them one. This isn't a war against the U.S. government. This is a war
against the American people. Are you ready? Let's show them how a free
people fight.
