Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Upon retiring from the military, I received a framed picture of a Bald Eagle perched on a flag staff (with the wind providing a full view of the flag). The caption on the picture states, āFor those who fight for it, Freedom has a special flavor the protected will never know!ā.

āNo free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.ā

Excellent quote, however, I think it was John Basil Barnhill that said;
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty

Iām not quite sure what you are referring to? Can you explain?
I believe every person on this forum agrees with you. However, when freedom of speech, to peaceably assemble and redress grievances with the government digress to violence and destruction of property, it is no longer an exercise of ones First Amendment rights and has absolutely no legal protection.
