    As noted here many times: I'm a gun owner myself. In fact, I'm a professionally trained firearms instructor who taught both military and civilian shooters for more than 30 years. Right now I'm sitting in my office about 5 feet from two gun safes. 1/

        I spent most of my adult life in uniform, sworn to defend the Constitution. I served in peace and in 2 wars. There aren't many weapons I'm not qualified on or haven't used. I spent my life in places where gun ownership is common, for military reasons, for sport, for defense. 2/

        I know a fair bit about firearms; their history, theory and, design; their construction; their use in all types of situations from the battlefield to the sporting range; their maintenance; how to handle them safely; how to keep them secure when not in use. It was my job. 3/

        The military spent a hell of a lot of money training me in detail and then keeping my knowledge, experience, and training current for more than 20 years. I'm a gun owner myself. I believe that responsible citizens should have the right to own guns. Key word, "responsible." 4/

        Americans have the right to own guns. But ownership of a gun DOESN'T mean you win all the arguments. A gun isn't license to intimidate others or overthrow the government whenever you please. The 2nd Amendment is for defense of the Republic, NOT nullification of democracy. 5/

        As gun fanatics are wont to point out: A gun is tool. It can be used for good or evil. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If you believe that's true then you must likewise admit a gun can't threaten others by itself either. Terrorism requires a human operator. 6/

        And that's what those marching in Richmond today don't get. To them, might makes right, they WANT you to be intimidated. Afraid. Cowed. That's terrorism. Ironic, given the Constitution they claim to defend was designed specifically to prevent that very thing. 7/

        What those in Richmond apparently can't understand is this: If it wasn't for their fanatical obsession with guns, their endless threats of violence and their attempts to intimidate both citizens and government, there would be no reason for the very laws they oppose. 8/8

        You always have a clear succinct way of cutting to the core. I am watching the images from there, and I am at a loss for understanding.
