Artist's Comments
The Greek phrase Molōn labe! (Μολὼν λάβε; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them!", is a classical expression of defiance reported by Plutarch in response to the Persian Army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons. It corresponds roughly to the modern equivalent English phrase "over my dead body", "bring it on" or, most closely, "come and get it". It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase.
In the Anglosphere, both the original Greek phrase and its English translation are often heard from pro-gun activists as a defence of the right to keep and bear arms. It began to appear on pro-RKBA web sites in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In the wake of firearm seizures during Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent defiance of Federal court orders by the New Orleans government to return seized weapons, the phrase has again gained popularity among Second Amendment supporters. [link] I am not a right wing gun nut, but I do believe every one has the right to do what ever they want, and that includes carrying guns. I think it is also interesting how we quote a Spartan king, when Sparta was more of a socialist state than democracy. And they had slaves. Tow elements that were not very democratic. I through in the oil well because I am from Oklahoma and that symbol is kind of ubiquities with the working class around here. So here you go, a call to arms, right wing, blow up abortionist clinics propaganda poster, with a "drill baby drill" attitude. If you are a republican dont get your panties in a bunch, I am a registered republican, and I served my country to have the freedom to say what ever the hell I want. And at the moment it just happens to be this satire |
