When we say land of the free and home of the brave, that means we, the people, bravely accept the fact that liberty entails a certain compromise in the security department. I might get shot by a maniac with a gun; I might get blown up by a terrorist; I might get wiped out by a tornado, but I want to be free when it happens, not the subject of a police state.

Just for fun, here’s the RSS feed for “Reasoned Discoursetm”

I ask to remove half of the 20,000 laws as a compromise, and I get crickets. To them, reasonable means they get what they want and we knuckle-dragging Neanderthals should just suck it up.

Thank God we’re the ones with the guns.

“Let’s meet in the middle of the road. Self-defense will be outlawed, but you can still hunt waterfowl. Deal?”
