That one will get exactly zero in a open debate, in court, in any legislature or with the American people IMO.
Who is timid about the 2nd A? Because I don't believe what you do about it's meaning in 2012 I am timid?  |
Hmmm, yet history says a different story. Militia's and guerrillas have been standing up to and inflicting death and destruction in the face of heavier armed adversaries and their will has still not been broken. You can kill a man but killing an ideal is much more difficult. And Freedom is one hell of an ideal many are willing to fight for.
