THE DAILY FUDD: E260: “Conclusion on carry, and WHY to be a fudd.”

In TDF 258 and TDF 259, I discussed two aspects of actual “carry” in RKBA. My conclusion was that both performance and restraint are necessary. Something is better than nothing.

But then, that’s been the whole point of this TDF series (I will refrain from excessive links). If we take the substance of RKBA seriously, then we will compromise to keep it. Those things we really care about, those we are willing to sacrifice for and accept imperfection. That’s the counterintuitive reality. Individuals compromise for families. Nations compromise for their prosperity and security. And libertarians compromise for the doobie. 

Arms are a tool. They are not a theoretical “principle.” The results of their loss is not theoretical. It is very real. It is with them that we maintain this seed of our Western heritage. And for all Patriots, if, given the political reality of both our institutions and our PEOPLE, restraint is necessary to preserve it, then it is worth the sacrifice. 

Think about it.
