Does anyone else find the irony between ragged325's post and his avatar?.
Yes I did and I almost cried laughing at it.
Then I thought about it and it really actually makes me sad. This is a prime example of how the American people in general have become complaisant with both our freedoms and our Govt. and its getting worse and worse with each passing class through our education system.
"One of the ordinary modes, by which tyrants accomplish their purposes without resistance, is, by disarming the people, and making it an offense to keep arms."
-- Constitutional scholar and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840
"Men trained in arms from their infancy, and animated by the love of liberty, will afford neither a cheap or easy conquest."
-- From the Declaration of the Continental Congress, July 1775.
"No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave."
-- "Political Disquisitions", a British republican tract of 1774-1775
