The Doomsday Provision

Posted by: BillH in Great Thoughts, Guns, Freedom
“The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.“                9th Circuit Court Judge Alex Kozinski (2003)

    Such a great quote; I had to google up the whole article/opinion. I’ve also stolen the quote (with a link back to you) for my own blog post. Thanks.

    I notice (via Say Uncle) that Kozinski’s in the news today.
