NOW: GUN CONTROL - now RIGHTS

[Tedscj at aol.com]

The interesting thing about having a RIGHT is that it needs no justification. 
 I can own a rifle because I like to hunt, or a .45 for self defense, or 
twenty different firearms because I think they are 'pretty'.  But I DON"T 
have to justify my rights to ANYONE.  Not my neighbors, not DIY_EFI list 
members, and CERTAINLY not my government.  I think people don't have a clue 
what a RIGHT is.
  A right is something possessed by each and every individual.  As in a 
'God-given right' or a 'natural right'.  Rights are NOT on loan from the 
government, to be repossessed at the governments convenience.  That is why 
the US is the only 'free country' on the planet (at least in regard to the 
rights that we still have.)  Countries like England (and I think Australia, 
too) are only posing as free countries.  They don't even have the right to 
the freedom of speech.  That freedom is simply a privilege granted by a 
benevolent government.  A privilege that can be taken away whenever the 
government sees fit (The British government bans books and even video games 
that it views without merit and socially damaging.)
Anyway, the point is that when someone from Australia, or worse yet, America 
asks you "why do you need a gun", thereby asking us to justify our rights as 
free-men (or women), they simply display their ignorance and demonstrate the 
ever present requirement that those of us who still value our rights must be 
vigilant in their defense.  Because the majority of humans on this planet 
will NEVER get it.  They are destined to live their life as the 'sheep'.  Me, 
I just want to be a 'horse'.
(or a horses ass, as the case may be! ;)
