"My rights trump your dead" [View all]

A pro-Second Amendment speech that has received widespread acclaim. We have gun proponents on record making clear they believe their rights to guns are more important than dead children. It is THEY who make the explicit connection between guns and slain children by pointing out that "my rights trump your dead" is the best line in the speaker's speech.
