MOLON LABE
Simply put, Molon Labe mean’s ‘come and get them’. These words were famously spoken by Spartan King Leonidas as so poetically depicted in the Frank Miller graphic novel and subsequent film ‘300’. He’d been told to lay down his weapons by the conqueror Xerxes. Even though Leonidas was faced with insurmountable odds, his response was one many Americans can still identify with. Leonidas and his Spartans have become the fashionable face of 2nd Amendment Rights and we couldn’t echo our sympathies more. To disarm a population is to undermine not only their freedom and choice, but their very capacity to defend themselves against an enemy, be that foreign or domestic. Leonidas understood that just wasn’t an option. I like to imagine we’d have gotten along well.
