Let us remind ourselves again that the Second Amendment of the US Constitution should be referred to as the Statute of Liberty.

It is true that a victim who fights back may suffer for it, but one who does not almost certainly will suffer for it.

Already a couple of the faithful have sent in checks for a foundation memorial to the innocents who perished at the hands of the ninja at Waco. ... I have been criticized by referring to our federal masked men as "ninja" ... Let us reflect upon the fact that a man who covers his face shows reason to be ashamed of what he is doing. A man who takes it upon himself to shed blood while concealing his identity is a revolting perversion of the warrior ethic. It has long been my conviction that a masked man with a gun is a target. I see no reason to change that view.

Aggressiveness carries with it an incalculable moral edge in any combat, offensive or defensive.
