“The Right of Self Defense is the First Law of Nature”
In The Federalist, David Harsanyi succinctly explains why, when the right to keep and bear arms is infringed, liberty “is on the brink of destruction.” The right of self defense, whether from home invaders or a tyrannical government, is the first law of nature.
