Why citizens must own and carry firearms
Benjamin Shapiro at World Net Daily - commentary on the murder of Alan Senitt in Washington D.C. The cops found the perps, after the fact. Had Mr. Senitt been armed, and had he had a survival mindset, he might be alive today, and the goblins might be where they belong, burning in hell. [nicki]
The basis for every right in our Constitution is the right to self-preservation. John Locke, the founders' favorite non-biblical philosopher, explained that if a government "endeavour[s] to grasp themselves ... an absolute power over the lives, liberties and estates of the people; by this breach of trust they forfeit the power the people had put into their hands for quite contrary ends, and it devolves to the people, who have a right to resume their original liberty."
When a government seizes citizens' ability to protect themselves, that government becomes a usurper. It is for this reason that the Second Amendment guarantees both the individual right to self-defense and the communal right to fight any deprivation of the right to self-defense.
