Oh, You Mean THAT Second Amendment

-
Remember this?

Well, here's more graphic evidence of why our Founding Fathers were so damn smart. By putting into our founding documents the right to keep and bear arms, they were making sure that Americans would always be able to take care of themselves. Liberals love to say that this is an outdated notion... that we no longer need such "protection."

Yeah? Tell that to these people.

Neighbors Tell Of Gun Battles After The Storm

[[ After the storm came the carjackers and burglars. Then came the gun battles and the chemical explosions that shook the restored Victorians in New Orleans' Algiers Point neighborhood.

"The hurricane was a breeze compared with the crime and terror that followed," said Gregg Harris, a psychotherapist who lives in the battered area. ]]

Imagine that, if you will. There is no more "infrastructure" in your city. Roving gangs of brigands are raping, killing, and stealing at will. The police are completely ineffective- and largely non-existent. The only thing standing between the good people and the wolves are... well... other good people with guns!

[[ Citizens organized armed patrols and checked on the elderly. They slept on their porches with loaded shotguns and bolted awake when intruders stumbled on the aluminum cans they had scattered on the sidewalk.

Gunshots rang out for days, sometimes terrifyingly close.

For Harris, the first warning sign came on Tuesday, the day after the storm, when two young men hit his partner, Vinnie Pervel, over the head and drove off with his Ford van.

"A police car drove up behind me and saw it happening but he didn't do anything," said Pervel, who heads the 1,500-household neighborhood association.

Then residents heard that police vehicles were being carjacked and looters were taking guns and ammunition from nearby stores.

A Texas woman who runs a Web site called Polimom.com served as a link between those who stayed and those who had left. With her help, they stockpiled an arsenal of shotguns, derringer pistols and an old AK-47.

They were put to use the next day.

"Some looters came up and pulled a gun on the wrong group of men," said Harris, who said he did not fire a gun himself and declined to say who else was involved in the battle. ]]

I would now like a national discussion on the Second Amendment. I want our Conservative representatives to call out the liberals on this issue- and have them explain why those people in New Orleans should not have had the right to defend themselves. Make it public and make it loud... tell all of America why we can't defend ourselves!

Okay... I'll stop... for now. But I'll be back...
