I've always liked that essay and everyone here should read it. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and this without any qualification as to their condition or degree, as is the case in the British government. -- This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty... The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Whenever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. - St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1803) ( From which U.S. laws regarding the RKBA ( Human Right to Keep & Bear Arms ) derrived ) -- IF YOU'RE NOT VOTING FOR LIBERTARIANS, YOU'RE ONLY VOTING FOR YOUR RULERS! If the government wasn't allowed to initiate force, the vote wouldn't be that important. It's only important because they can. Why is it that the liberals define things as slavery that arenοΏ½t slavery, like voluntary mutually consenting employer-employee relationships, while not defining things as slavery that are slavery, like taxation?
