New RangerUp T-Shirt Contest

Posted by: Curt @ 11:23 am in Blogging  | 934 views

UPDATE

Closing the contest, lots of caption entries for you all to vote on and now received five essay entries. Will have the follow up poll up soon.

Good luck all.

RangerUp has graciously given up three of their new 2nd Amendment t-shirts for Flopping Aces to give away:

2ndamendment

So the top two captions for this picture gets a free shirt:

globe_and_mirror

And the kicker is I will give away the last shirt and any two items from the Flopping Aces store (ad is on the sidebar, check it out) to the one who writes the best essay (400 words or less) about how relevant the 2nd amendment is in today’s world (Please send the essay to floppingaces@gmail.com…). Place your captions in the comment section of this post. The readers will vote on who wins both contests.

For the Second Amendment, I don’t write well enough for an essay, but I have this:

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

I just wish I had written it, because that is what I was taught, by my Dad and my Grand Dad.
