Why would anyone need a gun?

We are who we are, James; people who love and bleed and laugh and cry and have hopes and dreams and love to see children become a triumph of their potential and sleep untroubled at the day's end.
We have, within each of us to some degree, drawn a line in the sand, demarcating an absolute denial to the social predator, to those whose sly hearts would see them become lords and masters over the entire planet - a simple line that resolutely says, "No."
Likely as not, we absolutely terrify the ego-concentric hedonist whose focus lies solely within materialism and instant self-gratification, who rejects any responsibility (sadly, all to often) to community and the Republic - even to family. We speak with so many diverse and unashamed voices with a singular message of personal triumph over the myriad fears demanded we shoulder by the media as 'right,' and ordinary,' completely rejecting their profit-margin oriented mantra.
We go beyond merely standing on our hind legs as individuals, we greet the awakening flow of the iron blood of courage within our veins and walk into the dawning of this new milennium with songs and psalms in our hearts, determined to do the unthinkable, the shunned:
We indeed, will live our lives as "the People."
Why does this matter so much to me, a lesbian, a TS woman, a pagan, permanently disabled?
Because if I can do it, anyone else can - and must have the right!
