I asked yesterday for readers to weigh in on why they support (or don’t support) the Second Amendment. The poll is getting lots of responses, though some folks have complained that I should have included more answers, such as “To protect the rights of hunters.”
And I even had a few left-wing friends tell me I should have included more options for them, such as “The Second Amendment doesn’t mean military-style weapons” or “The Second Amendment doesn’t guarantee individual gun ownership.”
Speaking of our friends on the left, Vice President Joe Biden is overseeing an Administration effort to concoct new gun laws. In the interests of being helpful, I suggest the Veep’s team look at these four 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).
- Ice-T talking about the real reason to defend and support the 2nd Amendment.
We also have a brand new video from the folks at Reason TV. It provides five facts for Biden and his task force.
For some reason, I won’t be surprised if the Vice President doesn’t see this new video. Or any of the others.
Yes, you can call me a pessimist, but I think Biden’s task force has no interest in doing real research.
Their goal is to figure out (from the left’s perspective) politically feasible ways of undermining the Constitution.
So let’s gird our loins, which sounds like it might be fun, but it simply means prepare for a fight.
But, unlike the statists, we’re not humorless drones. So let’s enjoy some humorous gun control videos to put ourselves in the right frame of mind.
- A revealing look at how leftists think about gun control.
- A heartwarming adoption story.
- An amusing cartoon conversation between an anti-gun ideologue and a supporter of the Constitution.
- This Christmas greeting from the Second Amendment.
P.S. Don’t forget you can still cast a vote to explain why you support the Second Amendment.

I am the parent of a child murdered ambushed and murdered with a FENCE POST by a sociopath to see what it felt like to kill, Then went and bragged about it. Stood on the LEO scene as they investigated and laughed. Not even half a block from our home, I saw the site every day I drove down that road. There was no fund raisers, no out cries from the public, barely a write up in the paper. But then he was just a 16 year old sweet small town kid with the mentality of a 12 year old. I’ve seen no calls for bans on them! I have fought 6 parole hearings to keep my Jeremy’s killer behind bars for 14.5 years of his lousy 20 year plea deal. He has made threats to kill those that testified against him, my late husband made me go take my CCW course to protect myself and our younger child, now with the cesspool of crime I live in I am doubly glad to have done so. Leading news is killings, with knives, and of course ILLEGALLY gotten guns. Along with the politicians crimes, that always go UNPUNISHED, because this is a DEM district deluxe, and they don’t realize their own people have made SLAVES out of them with the over heavy tax burden for the FREEBIE crowd, and driven out those who work and pay taxes. WHAT PART OF SHALL NOT INFRINGE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND? It does not say may not, it says SHALL NOT! No gun law is Constitutional based on the 2nd A.
Our freedoms are being STOLEN FROM US piece meal and most are to stupid to know it. Never let a man made crisis go to waste is their moto.

Kj … Unfortunately, your and my left-wing friends employ selective ‘reasoning’ when it comes to their beliefs. No amount of procedural logic will sway their ‘beliefs’ because they actually think they know better than anyone else …. A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel ~ Robert Frost
For your leftwing friends.
The second amendment was created specifically to protect military style weapons. Judicial precedent; The national firearms act of 1934 (which effectively prohibited ownership of certain types of guns) was held to be constitutional simply on the fact that the prohibited guns were not the exact type used by the military, and therefore not protected by the second amendment.
Militia, as defined by Merriam-Webster.com; “the whole body of able-bodied male citizens declared by law as being subject to call to military service”. Sounds like an individual right to me.
If you are interested in a more detailed explanation of those overly simplified points email me.

Hello Dan!
My name is Bob Meier, (Cell: 312-848-9797), and I’m Senior Board member of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) / http://www.jpfo.org. We just released an Alert on the Gun Show control fallacy, and have produced hard-hitting pro 2A materials for two decades.
Can you please help us get the word out on our site where one can sign-up for our free Alerts? You don’t have to be “Jewish” to join JPFO…We enjoy active, wide-ranging support across the religious and racial spectrums.
(FYI: I used to be National Director of the Libertarian Party and have been active in the Freedom Movement since the early 1970s, with groups, such as Heartland Institute.)
I greatly enjoy your service, and frequently pass it on.
Bob
1) you are a human being and exist
2) you have the right to continue to exist (among others granted by virtue of simply existing as a human being
3) no one has the right to threaten or end another’s existence
4) there are those who threaten the rights of others
5) one has the right to defend oneself from those who would seek to infringe upon their rights
Therefor: ones right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed
Did I miss something?
