It seems that the burden of the public sector is always expanding and that politicians and bureaucrats are always figuring out new ways to restrict our freedoms.
But let’s not lose hope.
We still have a lot of economic liberty, particularly if you count non-fiscal policy factors.
And we still have the Second Amendment.
Heck, we don’t just have the right to keep and bear arms, we exercise that right in massive numbers.
Take a look at this impressive graphic. We’re #1 in some bad ways, but it seems we’re also #1 in a very good way.
Make sure to share this graphic with your statist friends and colleagues. It’s guaranteed to put them in a glum mood for the rest of the day!
And when you share this with your misguided acquaintances, ask them why guns don’t cause murder in nations such as Switzerland and Finland. Maybe you’ll have a breakthrough and they’ll confess that gun control isn’t the solution.
Incidentally, in addition to having lots of guns in America, we also are quite ready to defy the government if politicians try to take them away.
What’s happening in Connecticut is merely one example of this wonderful form of civil disobedience.
Since we’re on the topic of gun ownership vs. gun control, here’s another image that will cause heartburn for your leftist friends.
Same theme as the 4th image in this post.
And let’s not forget the best-ever poster on gun control.
Last but not least, here’s a poster sent to me by the PotL.
It’s the same message found at the top of this post and at the bottom of this post.

Wow, right next to Yemen. Yep that's a great list to be on. Yay baggers! Party like it's 1799.
ReplyDeleteYou people really come down on gun owners, but did you ever wonder what might have happened if the Rwandan's had guns and could have protected their families. I'm sure they would be alive today because the bad guys would have not dared attack them from the start!
DeleteThe Jews may not have entered the gas chambers had they had a fighting chance against the Nazis. If only they had a gun!
There was a reason the founders put this right in the Constitution: not everyone in the world means us well. The chief reason for our right to bear arms is against a rogue government. In the seventeen hundreds that would be the King of England. We are not far from being rogue nowadays as well!
Now…if you feel really brave, take your flat ass out to the big city and walk around at night; do you think you would feel safe? Do you think the criminals care if you are armed? I bet they would care! If they knew everyone had a gun, they might get hurt and might decide to go where they know the public has no guns.
Now…go “f” yourself!
