Anti-gunners need to use more caution

August 19, 2008
Bill Templeton
For those of you who did not read Donald Kaul's July 27 column, please do so. It gives us the Democrat's idea of "reasonable" gun control: Forcible disarmament. But be careful what you wish for, anti-gunners.

The battle of Concord was fought when British troops marched to seize a colonial arsenal. The Second Amendment was written into the Bill of Rights for the protection of the others. Should all the checks and balances of the Constitution fail, it guarantees us a means of deposing tyrants. Adolf Hitler's rise to power came about after he disarmed his countrymen and millions died as a result.

I suggest a more responsible use of the First Amendment would be to defend the others. These are not "your" rights versus "my" rights. They exist collectively, or not at all. If this doesn't suit the liberal agenda, may I suggest Mr. Kaul and his type renounce their citizenship and move elsewhere. I'll help them pack. In the meantime, I'll stay here defending to the death the entire Constitution. Even their right to be wrong.
