Commentary

There are only two ways to fight for liberty. One of them is physically. But our friends on the socialist left have striven mightily to obviate that. Their leaders are adamant that gun control be inaugurated as widely as possible, even though they surround themselves with armed guards. Such weapons, evidently are for them only, not for the rest of us, for the little people. However, people in flyover country, especially, have vociferously resisted that incursion.
