In the time preceding our Revolution the flintlock smoothbore musket was the deadliest assault weapon ever devised. Thank God the government didn't ban them because how else could our ancestors have thrown off the yoke of government tyranny. Ya know, our founders made it a point to make the possession of assault weapons clearly lawful in the Second Amendment of our Constitution because of the lessons they learned about tyrants and tyranny.

Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor last night, Florida Senator Marco Rubio said President Obama "doesn't have the guts" to admit that he doesn't believe in the Second Amendment and that his new push for gun control is something he's been wanting to do for his entire political career.

“I actually believe the president doesn’t have the guts to admit he doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment although he states that he is. The Second Amendment is in the Constitution. I didn’t write the Constitution, neither did you, neither did he. If he doesn’t want the Second Amendment to...
