The Blaze:
“Let me tell you why I’m a defender of the Second Amendment,” she began.
“I was a little girl growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, in the late fifties, early sixties,” she explained. “There was no way that Bull Connor and the Birmingham Police were going to protect you.”
“And so when White Knight Riders would come through our neighborhood,” she said, “my father and his friends would take their guns and they’d go to the head of the neighborhood, it’s a little cul-de-sac and they would fire in the air, if anybody came through.”
“I don’t think they actually ever hit anybody,” she continued. “But they protected the neighborhood. And I’m sure if Bull Connor had known where those guns were he would have rounded them up.”
“And so, I don’t favor some things like gun registration,” she said to a suddenly silent crowd.
“That said, it’s time to have a national conversation about how we can deal with the problems we have. It’s not going to be any single fix to the terrible events at Parkland,” she concluded.
It’s this last part that’s important, but more on that in a minute. David Codrea links at Washington Times piece saying this.
Bam. That’s it in a nutshell — this is why founders saw fit to put in place a Second Amendment. It wasn’t a right to hunt they were defending; it was a God-given right to protect one’s self and one’s family from harm. And specifically: from harm from the government
And David points out the same thing I’m about to.
“I think it is time to have a conversation about what the right to bear arms means in the modern world,” Rice told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday. “I don’t understand why civilians need to have access to military weapons. We wouldn’t say you can go out and buy a tank.”
More specifically, Rice said weapons like the AR-15 rifle that authorities say shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, 19, used to kill 17 students and teachers Feb. 14, shouldn’t be available to civilians, the Washington Times reported.
I would absolutely say that I should be able to go out and buy a tank with all of the ammunition I could afford to use with it. So here’s the bottom line, Ms. Rice. We have the second amendment to protect us from fake second amendment supporters like you. My conversation on the RTKBA with you can be neatly summarized as follows: Molon Labe. That’s about all the conversation I’ll have with you.
You’re what’s called a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Hey, I recall a time when you supported race sensitive admissions. I’m just saying that you’re not who you’re purported to be. But you fit in well with Mr. Bush, who was exactly who he was purported to be, having first sought permission from Bob Bullock to run for governor of Texas.
