Is this smart?
« on: April 03, 2015, 01:12:24 AM »
On another forum, I'm explaining why I favor Constitutional Carry. I just came up with this.

Quote
I would rather have the government recognize that I have a right to carry, w/o pretending that I need to prove that I'm one of the good guys. The government should be proving to us that they're the good guys, not the other way about.

Does it make sense?

I like it better than "A government that fears its armed citizens needs to be feared itself".

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

May want to mention that since world govts killed over 250,000,000 in the 20th century alone, it may not be armed citizens that people should be concerned about.
