In today’s Concord Fishwrap (no offense to fish), you’ll see another editorial about guns. Yet another vapid.repetitive.attempt to imply that the backwater, 18th century Founding Fathers had no idea, when they wrote the muskets-only Second Amendment, that semi-automatic firearms would ever be invented.
Had the editorial’s authors only been there to tell them, the Founders would have surely backed away from this senseless, antiquated section of 27 words. Right?
Apparently, Michael S Lewis (lawyer, former NH Asst AG) and his wife, Leah Plunkett (also-lawyer, professor, HuffPo contributor, excessive hand-gesturer, name-change denier, UNH and Harvard employee), haven’t realized that 1) most people don’t care what they think and 2) the Founders also never envisioned the internet, email, Twitter, YouTube, or Facebook – yet here their editorial sits, magically on my laptop.
If you read their piece, you can see how YouTube plays an integral part in their mixed-up, anti-gun fantasy.
Those of us who use logic on a daily basis have been countering this failed “musket” premise since Mr. and Mrs. Lewis were in middle school, passing notes to their friends. We non-lawyers have long since figured out (by reading, not watching some YouTube clips) that the natural rights of self-defense/preservation and protection of family are timeless, fully independent of technology advancements, no matter how scary they are to you – just like the rest of the Bill of Rights (hint: read up one amendment).
I expected the Lewises, as so-called prominent legal experts, to comprehensively research an issue before posting a tract in public. Oh well.
So, if you choose to continue making fools of yourself, attempting to block our right of self-defense, I suggest one of the following approaches: 1) start your lawyerly-work on a Constitutional amendment now or 2) be prepared to forcefully take our firearms.
And if you choose #2, put down your latte first…..and have more ammunition than us.
For those who need YouTube to understand stuff:
