I’ve confessed before that I am hopelessly uninformed about popular culture, so it’s no big surprise that I couldn’t identify a single song by Ice-T.
But since I’m a big supporters of the Second Amendment, I’ve decided he’s now my favorite singer (or would he be called a rapper?) after seeing him defend the right to bear arms on British TV.
Since most of the cops I know are good people who want to fight crimes against people and property (as opposed to harassing people engaged in victimless crimes or enforcing misguided bureaucratic edicts), I would like the video even more if he said “protect yourself from the government” rather than “protect yourself from the police,” but I’m nitpicking.
Ice-T and the latest in home defense
If you like what Ice-T has to say, you’ll definitely appreciate these other videos.
- Ted Nugent talking about gun ownership and the right of self defense.
- A look at the Switzerland’s strong gun culture and the importance of self defense as a protection against oppression.
- And some very powerful testimony to some weasels on Capitol Hill (make sure to pay attention around the 5:00 mark).
Lastly, for those of you who prefer addressing the issue with humor, this funny video shows that our left-wing friends are incapable of understanding this topic and this video is a heartwarming Christmas story.
Also, check out this joke comparing California with other parts of America, this interview with a general (presumably an urban legend, but could be true), and this t-shirt that I’m putting on my Christmas list.
And you can see two excellent Chuck Asay cartoons on gun control here and here.
Dan, I agree that most of his comments in defense of gun ownership are admirable. However, listen to his last comment in the video about “never having justice on stolen land.” That’s a bit disturbing.
Indeed. That caught my ear too. Is he a mere passenger? Let him be among the first to relinquish his claims to any of that land and it’s fruits.
Bad edit there; confounded autocorrect. Preferred: “its fruits.”
He’s critical of the country but seems disinclined to hop a boat to Africa or elsewhere. Call that “below” critical, or “hypo” critical.
Now if he could just raise his sights to include the risk that the country faces from the HSA with its ignoring of the 4th amendment, and its 420 million rounds of hollowpoint ammo that are not allowed to be used in war and are not used for practice, which just leaves Americans as a target.
Isn’t this the guy that did the “Cop Killer” song? (bad language at the link) http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/44222/

Maybe he sang Cop Killer but he plays a cop on TV.
He plays a cop on TV. He played a gangsta rapper in the recording studio. The only gang I know of him actually being in wore OD green and camo. And had a tab on the shoulder that said ‘Ranger’.
Believe it or not: In a previous existence, Ice-T was a US Army airborne ranger.
The world is a strange place.
Uh, Tracy Morrow, A.K.A. Ice-T, spent less than 4 years in the army, some of it in jail. He made only E-3. You don’t become Ranger Batt in less than 4 years.

Ice-T is my new hero! I’ve always liked him, but now I love him!
Blacks have their own reasons to distrust government, and they are reasons that don’t jive with why conservatives distrust government. But, the great thing about the 2nd Amendment is the it doesn’t care what our reasons are to feel a need to protect ourselves against the government. It just is, and it’s purpose is for us to secure our persons and property against the government.
You’ll notice that even though he feels that the government is worthy of distrust, as do I if for different reasons, neither of us is out of the street fomenting armend rebellion. However, should that day arise when it becomes necessary. We can both be there because of the 2nd Amendment.
Go, Ice-T! At the bottom of it all, we recognize a common need to protect ourselves from government, and for that I salute you.
