An interesting thing happened this week: some
snowflakes got offended by the fact that some people I know and I have been
discussing various aspects of firearms in the bar we frequently occasion or occasionally
frequent. These people I know got very
concerned about that. We were referred
to as “the gun guys in the back” by some of these snowflakes. For some reason that really bothered the
people I hang-out with at this bar. I’m
not sure, but I think it has to do with a privacy issue for them. I suspect it is the same reason they will carry
a handgun concealed, but never openly carry one. I suppose that is a fair perspective, though
different from mine.
Here’s the problem: I’m not giving up my First
Amendment Rights any sooner than I’m giving up my Second Amendment Rights. The snowflakes are offended by the very existence of firearms, and they abhor us
brutish rednecks who own, shoot and—God forbid—talk about guns. To which I respond: melt the snowflakes! Nobody has a right to not be offended, and I
have a God-given right to be offensive.
If my topic of conversation offends you…leave. But, just like you can take my gun when you
pry it from my cold dead hands, you will shut me up when you put a bullet in my
throat. But, if you’re going to try, you
better be better than me. The only
scumbags I hate worse than the gun grabbers trying to destroy the Second
Amendment, are the Politically Correct Thought Police trying to destroy the
First Amendment. I will not be silenced,
censored or shut-up for having opinions that pansy-ass snowflakes find too
offensive to tolerate in their safe-space little bubbles. For their bubbles I have just one solution: “Pop!”
The Left wants to shut us up. The coastal snowflakes cannot handle
dissent. By worrying about whether or
not you offend some weak-willed, half-developed, pansy-assed, safe-space
dweller, you buy-in to their bullshit.
You buy-in to their concept that they have some right to not be offended
by your words. Here’s my words: fuck
them; I have lots of guns, I like shooting them, I like learning about them, I
like sharing knowledge about shooting them with other people who like shooting
guns and learning about them…and I’m not going to stop exercising my Freedom of
Speech about them…BECAUSE I have the Right to Bear Arms! You want to shut me up? You better not be a snowflake living in a
safe-space, My Little Pony! You want to
shut me up, you better come prepared to do it by force. And I know no snowflake with the capacity,
capability, caliber, courage, commitment, spirit or stones to stand-up, step-up
and shut me up by shooting—not shouting—me down. But if I am mistaken, then I do humbly invite
so valiant a courtier to, by pistols, try, at dawn, or rapiers by dusk, or gallantly
adding to lore, as in days of yore, by moonlight past twilight with hammers of
war! Your choice, good sir!
For defending the Freedom of Speech
with a sword, the French Poet-cum-English Philosopher Voltaire was banished
from France. He famously founded the
freedom of expression thusly: “Though I disagree with what you say, I will
defend to the death your right to say it.”
Our First Amendment is based on Voltaire’s conviction that the free expression
and free exchange of ideas, uncensored by the state or by popular opinion, is
the cornerstone to a free society. Our
Second Amendment was designed to guarantee it.
As Wyatt said, “Which one of you brave men is gonna take it from me?”
With
Humble Deference to Voltaire,
Sincerely,
Soule
