    Like I tell citizens all the time when they ask what they should do to protect themselves; when seconds count, we're only minutes away. The smarter ones get it.
    ~Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

    The very same ones who say you don't need a gun are the same who hate the police.

    You might want to read the whole case to understand the issue being discussed, rather than just latch onto controversial headlines.
    Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.

    Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

    Are you referring to the general duty to protect versus not having a duty to protect an individual?
