Gun prohibitionists blatantly and falsely libel Texas gun rights group

Some argue that TOC's approach is too "in your face" to be effective advocacy, and that is perhaps a debate worth having, if only for how interesting it would be to hear why one should be "polite" in demanding recognition of one's fundamental human rights. But Ungar went so far as to accuse the group of terrorism. Anyone that easily "terrorized" deserves to live in terror, and those working to strip Americans of their Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms should be terrified of the backlash against their agenda.

Anonymous said...: Salazar was arguing that guns don’t make [politicians] safer, and that there are other security measures in place that could prevent unnecessary shootings.

“It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t know who [your armed guards are] going to be shooting at,” the Democrat from Thornton said.

He added, “And you don’t know if you feel like you’re going to be [assasinated], or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody.”

Anonymous said...: Steve Spurrier was reported to have said something along the lines of "If they say nice things about you it's because you're not beating them bad enough."

So by that comparison we should be happy they're saying bad things about our side.; November 12, 2013 at 1:49 PM
A Reader said...: I figure that the polite approach is what long gun OC folks have - in general - been doing all along: empty chambers, chamber flags, guns slung down or to the rear, and mags empty or mags out. In short, we go a little out of our way to demonstrate we're not trigger happy lunatics, knowing that hostile media and hostile cops will use any excuse for a bad story or an arrest. Is it playing defense? Yes. Is it sad that it seems necessary? Yes. In the interim, the undecided folks see something a little odd, but still American, not a reason to dial 911.; November 12, 2013 at 4:03 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
