Vanderboegh: How the Enemy Thinks

Mike Vanderboegh has written a piece that deserves its own post today at The Liberty Sphere. The entire title is, 'How the Enemy Thinks (And How They Take Heart Both from Heller and the Pragmatists).'

Friends, this is crucial reading. Here is an excerpt to whet your interest:

For what have we to show for our seven plus decades of increasingly tighter gun laws? Have they limited criminal behavior? No, gun laws by definition are only aimed at the law abiding. Criminals will do what they will. It has recently become popular for criminals to steal AR-15 patrol rifles from police cars. In what way would banning civilians from owning AR-15s prevent that? And if the street gangs are armed with such weapons, why should honest folks be debarred from the same weapons to defend themselves against the gangs?

Understand this, you can pass any "law" you like but we will not obey them. Then you must reconcile yourselves to come to our homes and seize them from us. And sometime after the first few of us die in your confiscatory raids, you will discover another truth taught by history. Read the story of the Deacons for Defense and Justice during the 60s. They would be the first to spit on your proposals. For those black veterans who took up arms against the Klan understood that just because a government was "elected" didn't mean it was fair, or legitimate.

Do yourself a favor and read the entire thing.
