With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]
There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?
Very good piece, as usual. You state: “There is nothing wrong with being a culturist, that is, with acknowledging that some cultures and ideologies are superior at encouraging individualism, liberty, prosperity, and innovation over others.”
I would argue that one does not even need to go that far. It is enough for me that it is *my* culture, and I do not want to see it changed. We do not need to justify wanting to keep our culture by arguing that it is superior to other cultures (even if we happen to think it is). The point is, it is *our* culture, bequeathed to us by our ancestors, and we who were born here have every right to preserve and nurture it, and protect it from being terraformed away by an invasion of people bringing their own incompatible societies.
