Rachel Lucas has a very interesting thread going on about freedom and gun control. She pastes a lengthy essay from a Mr. Whittle who does a great job of explaining why gun ownership is such deep rooted issue in the US. And also does a great job of bashing “intellectuals” worldwide who see American gun owners as dim-witted hillbillies. It’s lengthy, but well worth the read.
Great., The debate over gun ownership is centered on the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which protects “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.”
