The Left will have you believe that people who own guns are a bunch of fun-loving, action-hero-wannabes, who are excited by shiny things and loud noises and like to run around blowing things up by remote control. And I say, that’s not a bug — that’s a feature!

Aside from the entirely plausible idea of defending yourself against criminals and even the big-state lovers who always seem to have Plans for Everyone, vesting ultimate power with the people was a well-reasoned, historically based, profoundly moral decision on the part of the Framers.
