You: no.

Liberal: Oh come on, you can afford it. Give me $10,000.

You: No chance!

Liberal: It’s your duty to give me $10,000.

You: No it isn’t.

Liberal: I need it more than you. Besides, you’d just waste it. I can put it to better use.

You: Go pound sand.

Liberal: Ok, Ok, I’m willing to compromise. You only have to give $5,000.

You: Wait, what? I said no! Where the hell do you get the idea that you are entitled to my hard earned money?

Liberal: Why are you being unreasonable?

(yes, I said terrorist attack)

Of course the problem with that line of thinking is that there is no  2nd amendment right to own a gun, and that is not in dispute among anyone who knows the constitution which admittedly leaves out at least 3/4 of the members of Congress and probably half the states attorneys general in the country .

The fact that there are so many people ignorant of what the 2nd amendment means and who insist on repeating the myth  that the 2nd amendment has anything to do with an individual right to own a gun doesn’t make it so.

What is so interesting about those who are so ignorant of the 2nd amendment is that it spans the entire political spectrum from ultra liberal Jerry Brown to conservatives like Bob Barr, from President Obama and Jimmy Carter to Newt Gingrich and Lou Dobbs.

Marc,  you forgot to mention all nine justices of the Supreme Court of the United States in your list of people “so ignorant of the 2nd amendment”.

But there is one that I had forgotten about until recently.  I’m seriously considering getting me a pair of Ruger Vaquero’s in .45 Colt for Cowboy Mounted Shooting.  I’ve been wanting to give it a go since I saw it on a show on TV about 14 years ago.

I already have a quarter horse with about two years of reining training under it’s belt, and a place with plenty of room to practice.   Other than the holster rig, the equipment I’ll need to get is pretty minimal. 

Here’s one of the many CMSA clips I’ve found on YouTube

Now I just have to convince the wife that I need two more guns.  Hell, she’s been looking for an excuse to buy a new horse trailer.  Maybe we can “work something out”.
