It'll give Mr. Cotton something to do. The right to keep and bear arms doesn't mean much if you're not alive to exercise it.

Obviously people's line in the sand is different.

I believe that each one of us has to make a decision before hand, before that knock on the door. This is the ultimate decision for I love my family more than life itself but I also have taught them there are things worse than dying, like living in fear and oppression and some ideals are greater than the individual.

Do we think our Forefathers didn't have to make the same choice? Did they not love their children? Did they not know that some would die? I imagine they were labeled as criminals and zealots as some of us may have been.

Personally I have never thought I needed a gun until someone comes to take it from me, God help me if that day should ever arrive.
