What I want people to take away from this is that rights arent things on paper, theyre things you fight for.

Laws are meaningless, the rich flaunt and break them all the time. They only exist so the state can control the population. Average people have no real say in their creation, so its not like people came together and decided on what rules they think society should follow.

Everyone needs a gun and the willingness to use it. Thats how you protect your rights.
