Target shooting, hunting, self-defense, military – it made no difference then and makes no difference now. It is not the technology but the recognition of human nature is that some always wish to dominate others (“including their own government“); firearms are a way of voting no. People are the “scary parts” – not lumps of metal, plastic, wood, or chemicals. It is people that are tyrannical (be it writ small in a single person or writ large as in Government) in nature, not inanimate objects.
It is rather sad that Liberals can’t tell the difference (or wish to).

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
