“I am a fan of the Second Amendment. I am a firearms enthusiast. I’m a hunter. I enjoy target shooting. I also believe the Constitution of the United States gives us the right to keep and bear arms,” Lee said.
Once and for all, GUDDAMMIT, the Constitution does not GIVE us the right to bear arms, it GUARANTEES it.
He really thinks he's on the "right side," while accepting that transient opinion is the origin of liberty, and conceding that it is subject to majoritarian impulses.
"Living Constitution," anyone?
Well, you ain't on the right side until you actually understand the first founding principle of our country. Believing that it is the written word that endows basic rights ain't it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
