We are called upon again to defend Liberty.
We are compelled to fight for those rights enumerated December 15, 1791.
In preWar for Independence days, the toadies of George called those so ascribed 'sons of violence' or 'sons of iniquity'. Rather like some of our current crop of enemies call us 'gun nuts', 'militia' (Now a demonized word conjuring up pics of crazed mobs rather like luddites destroying all in their path.), bumpkins, rustics etc. Audaciously, these keepers of collectivism call us traitors.
Finger pointing. The perfect machination for taking the heat off one's own nefarious group.
Confrontation. What 3pers etal do to shine the light on these slimy worms.
Warts and all, we don't claim to be perfect. We do affirm that we will Restore the Republic.
In the past 'Sons of Liberty' referred to several groups of people who had enough economuc then military tyranny. They held liberty tree meetings in public and organized protests that defeated the Stamp Act, impeded the Townshead Act and led, after the War began, to the repeal of the Tea Act.
The famous 'Boston Tea Party' led to anti colonist sentiment and also spurred on the Revolution.
Read up on all of this, otherwise I'll be trapped into some lengthy booklike tratise that deflates and waters down my point (Worth the read btw).
As the term 'sons of liberty' came to embody ALL who fought and supported in their own way for Freedom, so it can be used today.
Take occasions like Bill of Rights Day to spread the word what our Republic is about. Talk details about what our rights are and how they are a given, enumerated as it were, and not fiat government permission.
Teach those who are ready just what it means to resist tyranny.
Word of mouth is our friend. They can't tax that -s-.
The more they try to endrun it however, the more ingenious we become.
The plainer the course. The risk is clear. We are willing to fight and die for Freedom. What's more, we are willing to live for Freedom.
The long awaited storm is sweeping us along. Let us weather it together.
Simply put, we are now and forever sons and daughters of Liberty.

"...and by the way, Mr.Speaker, the Second Amendment is not for killing little
ducks and leaving Huey and Dewey and Louie without an aunt and uncle. It's for
hunting politicians, like in Grozny, and in the colonies in 1776, or when they
take your independence away."

"To prohibit a citizen from wearing or carrying a war arm ... is an unwarranted
restriction upon the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. If cowardly
and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the
evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general
deprivation of constitutional privilege."

How about the cowardly and dishonorable in Congress?
"A government that does not trust it's law-abiding citizens to keep and bear
arms is itself unworthy of trust."

Tried and found guilty of treason/sedition?
Dies Irae.
A paradox would have ensued if there had been a 'ford' after Red -s-.
