As a lifelong Second Amendment advocate residing in the great state of Minnesota [really, deep in the febrile crescent], I feel compelled to write in defense of a right that forms the bedrock of our freedoms, a right that too often is diluted in public discourse to mere hobbies or traditions. In Minnesota, where our vast landscapes and rural communities rely on self-reliance, the Second Amendment stands as an unyielding guardian against overreach, ensuring that citizens remain sovereign in the face of potential tyranny.
The second amendment, not the first, is "the bedrock of our freedoms"?
Chairman Mao has said, "Political power comes from the muzzle of a gun." This fatuous bastard is then a Maoist? Wisdom has it, "If you go carrying a picture of Chairman Mao. You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow."
Who would I be to go against established creed? Who is this fatuous bastard to go against Beattle wisdom? Give Timmer a "Got One" award for the insight and display. Exposing a possible Maoist 'mongst us.
Or do I connect two disparate authority sources wrongly, presuming too much?
