Karl thunders from the metaphorical pulpit about the shameless hypocrisy of the anti-gun elite:
If you believe that you have a right to life because your creator
endowed you with that right, and that this right is unalienable and thus
cannot be taken from you (although it can certainly be disrespected!)
then it follows that you have not only the right but the responsibility to defend your life. That is, you have the right and the responsibility to deter to the best of your ability any other person who would take your life from you.You may choose to delegate this responsibility to others, as Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama have, but your right to life is not inferior to theirs.
It is equal. President Obama has no more right to live than you do.
You are his equal from the standpoint of what your creator, and his
creator, endowed both of you with. So we have established that you
have the right to live, as does the President. And if the President
has the right to defend his life with deadly force, and indeed the responsibility to do so, then, should it be necessary, so do you.This
debate should end right there. Up until all of these people in
political office disband their police forces, their Secret Service
details, throw down their own arms, armored cars, body armor and other
defensive means of interdicting assault they have nothing — not even a moral argument — behind them in their demand that you disarm and become an intentional victim — no matter who you are.
That is true. That is truth. As I said in my column last week, if you do not stand up for the right of the American to keep and bear arms, you are not an American. You are not an adult. If it weren’t for the genetics involved, you cannot even be considered Homo sapiens sapiens, because you are admittedly and consciously rejecting your God-given and unalienable rights as a human being.
