damnrad,
As I stated, a "gun" is just another tool that I use on my homestead. Perhaps the fact that I have a axe for chopping firewood makes me an axe murderer? I've got two chainsaws, I don't live in Texas, but maybe I'm the Kentucky chainsaw murderer. The fact that some people can't conduct their affairs in a responsible manner isn't my problem. I have exercised my rights for over 10 years now without harming another Human Being, their rights or property. If guns scare you, then it's probably just as well that you avoid them. Guns don't kill people, people kill people!
My claim of a right to defend myself is not dependent on nor derived from any Constitution. The right of self-defense is a natural right. If a "gun" is my choice of weapon to exercise that right then that's what I'll use.

Perhaps you're not aware that LEO's have absolutely no legal obligation to "protect" the individual, just to uphold the peace in general. If they did have the obligation to protect each and every "citizen" there would be a LEO for each citizen. I don't have the court cases in front of me at the moment, but I'll attempt to find that information. Many State's Bill of Rights do recognize self-defense as a natural, inherent right, for instance Kentucky's Bill of Rights, Section 1: "All men are, by nature, free and equal, and have certain and inalienable rights .... First: The right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties. Fifth: The right of acquiring and protecting property. Seventh: The right to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State ...."

If you don't choose to use a "gun" while exercising your right of self-defense that's your choice, I've always heard that you don't take a knife to a gun fight. I could also use a knife to cut down a tree, but my chainsaw is more effective. I haven't heard of anyone in Monroe County, Kentucky being alarmed at the sight of me packing, but then again it's not unusual to see rifles on racks in pick-up trucks either! Different strokes for different folks!


I am a free Human Being and I have the right to ignore the State.
I know my rights, I declare my rights, I exercise my rights and I damn well will defend my rights!
Freedom is contagious, knowledge is the source of infection. Infect knowledge!
Long live individualist-anarchism!
