This, I think ...

... hits the nail on the head:

When having this conversation, it’s far too easy to say, “Oh! Of course we don’t want to kill people! So let’s discuss your proposition.”

It’s time to come out with it and speak the plain truth which was born and bred into the very soul of the United States from day one:

There may yet come a day when you will have no choice.

This is one of the deep, dark not-so-well-hidden facts of the pro-gun movement. Ultimately, we keep firearms because we may, indeed someday need to kill someone.

Note that I did not say 'murder' someone ... that is a conflation that is used by the progressive Left.

The Left seem to think that you, as a citizen, have no inherent right to live. I'll take that back ... no inherent right that is basic enough for you to use force outside of the state to protect. And that is wrong.
