I took up arms for the freedom of my color. It is our own - we will defend it or perish.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always been a firm believer in the longstanding American principle of having the right to bear arms and I will remain committed to see that this freedom is not infringed upon, revoked, or limited in any way.
With the blessings of liberty, we have responsibilities to defend it.
Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it.
My belief is that if we take away that right to bear arms, the only people that are going to have them are... the ones breaking into your house.
It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.
Freedom is a struggle, and we do it together. Not only together as black citizens, but black and white together.
The enemies of freedom are waging an all-out assault on the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which we have sworn to protect and defend.
Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.
We had to forge an alliance of strength based not on colour but on commitment to the total abolition of apartheid and oppression; we would seek allies, of whatever colour, as long as they were totally agreed on our liberation aims.
Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
