Those who quarrel with the Second Amendment are really
opposed to the idea that one has an inherent right to defend oneself. They are,
at root, deniers of natural law.
These
same “progressives” can countenance neither an individual’s right to defend
herself, nor, collectively, the country’s. On the one hand, they claim that an individual’s right to bear arms is
somehow revoked now that we have a standing army or “permanent militia.” The
collective renders the individual moot. Yet, on the other hand, they are against new weapons systems and increased military spending and for unchecked, unfiltered immigration,
terrorists or no. Thus the collective- the country-
is unable to properly defend itself as well.
It’s
hard to tell if their positions on disarming the innocent are inconsistently
consistent or consistently inconsistent.
