Sometimes you see something that makes you go, “Huh?” Not because it’s BS – but because it surprises you.<\/p>\n

I certainly did recently. That happened when I read this article<\/a>, where rapper\/actor Ice-T comes out strongly in favor of individual gun ownership and the individual right for concealed carry.<\/p>\n

Ice-T has an, um, “checkered” past, and he certainly made no bones about his political leanings 4 years ago.\u00a0 However, he’s also proof that at least a few liberals “get it” when it comes to gun ownership, the Second Amendment, and Constitutional rights. \u00a0He also proves that not all liberals toe the “party line” on all issues.<\/p>\n

I can’t exactly say I agree with Ice-T across the board here – I’d not have singled out the police as targets like he did in the article (IMO the right of firearms possession and carry is better justified as allowing defense of person in particular and liberty in general). But the article and accompanying video are certainly at least minor bits of sanity from the liberal side of the house regarding firearms ownership.\u00a0 I guess even stopped clocks are right twice a day.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see what our resident liberals have to say about this.\u00a0 (smile)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
