Ever since Sandy Hook revived gun control in our national discussion, gun-rights advocates have circled the wagons around the Second Amendment.Some of them are suggesting some very troublesome things.Many people believe that firearm regulations violate their constitutional rights. If the Second Amendment is uniquely meant to be taken as absolute, then they are entirely correct.Why some folks afford gun rights this status, yet not freedom of speech and religious liberty, is an interesting question.What raises eyebrows is the particular reason that many gun absolutists wish to own firearms in the first place. In a nutshell, they want the ability to fend off a government perceived as tyrannical.One man’s tyranny is another man’s notion of ideal liberty.
