“‘Self-defense is a primary law of nature, which no subsequent law of society can abolish.’ That’s how the great Mercy Otis Warren put it. But this wasn’t just a philosophical view for the Founders and Old Revolutionaries. They knew an armed society was essential to preserving liberty – because they lived it firsthand. In fact, it was one of the most critical gifts they passed down to us.” (11/27/24)
