Why liberals should love the Second Amendment

Yep, good post.

Lots of us are somewhat more liberal IN SOME AREAS than the majority and many of us appreciate that there is often some good sense in the view of those in the opposing camps, depending on the issue at hand.


IMO, that's the way it almost always is and has been. The longer term view of history sees the ideas that have real lasting benefits to be the ones that survive the partisan squabbles and become accepted.

Sometimes it takes a lot longer than we'd like, but the public eventually finds the right track.

In the meantime, the "liberals" will try to eliminate the second Amendment freedoms they should be supporting, and the "conservatives" will continue to stick their noses into the bedrooms and private relationships of people where they don't belong when they should be supportive of freedom there as well.

Neither side seems to accept that freedom for them also means freedom for others. Nearest thing I've seen to that is the Libertarian Party, that gets only a small percentage of the vote every election. It does seem to be a GROWING small percentage, though, so maybe there's still hope.
