Quote of the Day - Second Amendment edition

Elusive Wapati shoots, and scores:

Many on the right cite resistance to tyranny as the primary object of the Second Amendment, and while that may be true, that is not the primary use of the Amendment in my considered opinion. Instead, the Amendment reserves for the people the ability and the responsibility to protect themselves, and in doing so, forestalls the security vacuum (that typically results in heavier government policing) from occurring in the first place.

Interesting that this private security firm provides better security at half the cost. Another benefit for the people--specifically their civil rights--is that this private security firm, like any private party, will be held accountable for their actions in ways that police officers, as public officials, have not been and are not likely to be anytime soon.

Of course this is all considered to be Double Plus Ungood by all Right Thinking People®, because it reduces the dependence of the people on the Government.  That's why they "don't encourage self-help" because then reduces the incidence of crisis, and never let a crisis go to waste, right?
