We must free ourselves from a situation in which half our wealth is taxed away, where the realm of our moral autonomy is constantly constricted by an ever-increasing burden of rules, regulations, and laws. We should honor the Second Amendment to the Constitution and repeal any and all limits on the ability of law-abiding citizens to carry and use personal firearms. Not only would we have a safer society if more citizens went armed against the predators seeking to harm them, but each of us has a moral right to defend himself, to protect and defend that life which is the basis for any and all other values we might ever hope to achieve. There are no evils that are necessary. There is only that evil we produce ourselves or which we allow to continue because we do not speak out against it, because we do not act forcefully enough to defeat it.
Government is only a tool, a means to an end.
Like fire, it can help us to achieve our goals. If we become complacent, however, if we take its functioning for granted or permit it to escape its proper domain, it can destroy all we hold dear. This is one servant that truly makes for a terrifying master. Or they can reclaim their heritage of liberty and moral integrity, repudiate those who arrogantly reserve to themselves the right to decide how others shall live, and restore our tattered Constitution to its original lustre and dignity. It's a strange compassion, however, which restricts, binds, and destroys, not only materially but spiritually and intellectually, as well.
