The Right to Bear Arms is the Right to Be Free

When I say "The right to bear arms is the right to be free," I am paraphrasing a line from The Weapon Shops of Isher by Canadian science fiction writer A. E. van Vogt.  He wrote, "The right to buy weapons is the right to be free".   I think the Weapon Shops is the best book written by van Vogt.

This is a great story, but the line, "the right to buy weapons is the right to be free," is absolutely true.

I will also mention his science fiction novel Slan.  I enjoyed that when I was a kid, but it seemed juvenile when I read it as an adult.
