For when they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.'
- 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Throughout history, tyrants have offered a devil's bargin in order to those they might tyrannize. The tyrants offer peace and safety in return for liberty.
Free peoples need to understand their responsibility to bear arms in order to defend their rights and property.
