“Though the earth, and all inferior creatures, be common to all men, yet every man has a property in his own person: this no body has any right to but himself. The labour of his body, and the work of his hands, we may say, are properly his. Whatsoever then he removes out of the state that nature hath provided, and left it in, he hath mixed his labour with, and joined to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property. It being by him removed from the common state nature hath placed it in, it hath by this labour something annexed to it, that excludes the common right of other men: for this labour being the unquestionable property of the labourer, no man but he can have a right to what that is once joined to, at least where there is enough, and as good, left in common for others.” John Locke, Two Treatises of Government, Of Property
Coming from a Second Amendment supporter, this statement would be treated as paranoia. Coming from left-wing elitist Jan Schakowsky it’s something else entirely. Is it paranoia when the left admits it?
Don’t remember Schakowsky? Read our open letter to her from 2009.
