A "right" that requires "government" permission is not a right, but a government-granted privilege. A "right" that legislation can negate is not a right. And yet most of the pro-freedom movement goes to great lengths to ASK those in "government" to please not violate our rights. They lobby for legislation protecting their rights, or lobby against legislation which will infringe on their rights. They try to elect people who will preserve their rights, or at least not violate them even more than before. In other words, they beg for their freedom, as if they need the permission of tyrants to be free.

    A great example of losing your rights was the Patriot Act after the blowing up the World Trade Center

      women's sufferage, civil rights movement, Indian Independence, all movements which wrested liberties away from oppressive regimes with nonviolent methods. In fact, violence by ther opponents helped their cause.

        I believe in the 2nd Amendment and it's not the sticky argument he mentioned in the article - it's the fact that he seems so gung-ho about creating a paramillitary. I don't trust people who want to use violent overthrows of the government. Especially if those same people aren't willing to protect ALL liberties, not just their precious second.

          Rights are like muscles. The best way to keep and strengthen them is to exercise them.

            If we never had violent overthrows of government in this country then we would all have a funny British accent and bad teeth.
            The liberal agenda is to bastardise our Constitution and abolish our Nation from within.

              Keep in mid that the bigger the government gets the less rights you have. Obama wants to grow the government so we will have $1 trillion deficit every year.
