| Message | Articles 2, 10, 11, 12, and 13 are especially reprehensible. There is no logical, rational basis for discimination based on gender, race, or sexual orientation, and anything illogical or irrational is inherently dangerous and destructive, and should be suppressed wherever it may be found. And to deny citizens the right to own firearms will deny them their patriotic duty to overthrow any government that would allow such repulsive legislation to pass. |
