A Fine Marksman Is With A Second

The Rifle Itself Has No Moral Stature, Since It Has No Will Of Its Own. Naturally, It May Be Used By Evil Men For Evil Purposes, But There Are More Good Men Than Evil, And While The Latter Cannot Be Persuaded To The Path Of Righteousness By Propaganda, They Can Certainly Be Corrected By Good Men With Rifles.

The Rifle Is A Weapon. Let There Be No Mistake About That. It Is A Tool Of Power, And Thus Dependent Completely Upon The Moral Stature Of Its User. It Is Equally Useful In Securing Meat For The Table, Destroying Group Enemies On The Battlefield, And Resisting Tyranny. In Fact, It Is The Only Means Of Resisting Tyranny, Since A Citizenry Armed With Rifles Simply Cannot Be Tyrannized.

We Learn That Comrade [president Of South Africa Nelson] Mandela Has Announced In A Speech That He Hopes For A Bright Future In South Africa For ‘liberty’ And ‘equality.’ Anyone Who Has Thought About It Realizes That Liberty And Equality Are Antithetical Concepts. You Can Have One, Or You Can Have The Other, But You Certainly Cannot Have Both. As To That, Either Concept Is A Rather Futile Goal. Equality Is Biologically Impossible, And Liberty Is Only Obtainable In Homogeneous Populations Very Thinly Spread.

One Cannot Legislate The Maniacs Off The Street... These Maniacs Can Only Be Shut Down By An Armed Citizenry. Indeed Bad Things Can Happen In Nations Where The Citizenry Is Armed, But Not As Bad As Those Which Seem To Be Threatening Our Disarmed Citizenry In This Country At This Time.

'heroism' Is Not The Same As Coping. A Man Who Does His Job Properly And Succeeds Through His Own Efforts Is Definitely To Be Commended, But He Is Not A Hero In The Classic Sense Until He Deliberately Lays His Life On The Line For A Cause He Deems To Be Greater Than Himself.
