Rights are identical for everyone
(My Eastern New Mexico News column for February 4, 2026)
All the people, organizations, companies, and politicians who say "I'm a Second Amendment absolutist, but..." are lying. The Second Amendment doesn't come with any "unless", "except", or "but"...read the rest...
“The Second Amendment isn’t about who is allowed to carry what, when, or where; it’s about prohibiting government from having any role in the conversation."
ReplyDeleteThat 'shall not be infringed.' is interpreted by the power-hungry as allowing the imposition of a multitude of ifs, ors, and buts exceptions by the legislature, the president, the judiciary and even some attorney generals is just further proof that mere words on paper cannot restrain the arrogance of authoritarians. The only thing that can serve as a restraint on power is an equal or superior power in opposition. That all people be armed is a permanent and continual necessity.
Yes.
DeleteWhat's distressing is how many of the armed people want to use those arms to support and protect the State- their mortal enemy. They want to be Sauron's orcs.
