I once voted for Spock though am now conservative for past 50+ years. When your argument is better than mine, you've changed my mind. That's only fair. I learn nothing from my friends that agree with me.
I once heard you say; If you were a founder you would not have approved of the 2nd amendment.
After Oct 7 have you changed your opinion?
Think how history might have changed had the German Jews, Gypsies, Gays, Undesirables, et al, had access to 3D printers. They could have manufactured a single shot 9mm pistol. Used those single shot 3D printed pistols to relieve a sentry of their Mauser, ammo, handgrenades, bayonets, etc. Officers of their Lugers, ammunition, etc. and not walked into the death camps resistless prey. They could have mounted an armed resistance. The same for Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Chavez, Castro, pick a name throughout history. October 7th comes to mind. I find many Jews at my range that on October 6th were anti 2nd amendment but now want to arm themselves to protect their families and others.
Our armed population has a God given right to self defense and most importantly resistance to an oppressive government. It keeps them honest.
The concept of an armed citizen was mandatory in civilizations going back a couple thousand years.
Our founders studied whey Republics and Democracies failed. In every instance it was the tyranny of the majority over an unarmed population and ultimately ended in authoritarian rule.
Our American experiment of 235 years is rooted in the founders as revolutionaries and armed resistance. It's what keeps us free.
I feel the same way. I didn’t watch the silly Oscars, but I was appalled that so many uninformed “stars” were wearing that Red hand button. Were they all hypnotized into supporting murderers and rapists from the Oct 7th massacre? It’s the Israelis who should be supported. Not the barbarians.
Allen,
