Some of Mr. Lawson's quotes could be used both in defense of second amendment rights and as a criticism of present day perceived deprivation of rights by our current administration. Obviously, the Ramsey Clark quote sounds good to some of us, but I would not be inclined to use more than the principle apparently referred to in the quote, because of its dubious source. If ever there were a series of quotes leaving doubt as to the intent of the user of the quotes, this was it. I think some of the posters here are trying to sound like "gun people" while using this thread to indicate that some of us, the current administration included, are a little too protective of both our rights and safety, while sacrificing some of the rights of those who are our enemies. We started this discussion by debating whether someone who criticizes his sponsors and employers should be secure in his contracts and his job. Where are we now?
