Liberty By Strength

1773, December 16th: The Boston Tea Party. 

1775, March 23rd: Patrick Henry’s “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. 

1775, April 19th: The Battles of Lexington and Concord, "the shot heard 'round the world." 

1776, July 4th: The Declaration of Independence.

These are four of some of the most important moments for the American War for Independence. They are all instances of an essential action: Resisting tyranny. Each example illustrates that the Founding Fathers knew their Liberty was God-given, and supersedes a government’s arbitrary claim to power when that claim contradicts freemen’s rights. The Bible establishes clear principles for legitimate government power in Romans 13 and 1st Samuel 8. That power is inherently limited.

Too few people know that today. That’s why our liberty is shrinking in the face of ambitiously tyrannical governments. For example, New York just passed a law banning civilian body armor.

“Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense?” - Patrick Henry

New York almost passed a requirement that citizens actively turn their vests in. It’s not a far-fetched idea that the governments around us are opposed to our strength and freedom: It’s a present reality. Connecticut has done the same. And nationally, the ATF enforces hundreds of gross violations of Second Amendment rights.

For this reason, we must be ready for the fight and we must stay in the fight. To defend our liberty, we need Tools of Liberty: Arms and armor.

The Founders knew this. They established an Armed Republic. We who follow them should likewise be Armed and Armored. The Armored Republic is proud to be equipping Freemen to that end.

“The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops.”

– Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, October 10, 1787

It is our hope that Webster’s words shall ring true even in our age.

Lex Rex. Resist Tyranny. No King But Christ.
