  The Baldwin Project: Our Young Folks' Plutarch by Rosalie Kaufman
It was Publicola who prevented such a catastrophe by rallying his men and giving battle to the enemy on the banks of the Tiber.
Publicola was so pleased at the courage shown by Horatius on the bridge that he at once proposed that every Roman should pre- [72] sent him with one day's provisions.
Meanwhile, Publicola sent messengers to tell Clausus that he was assured of his honesty and good intentions, and that if he pleased to secure himself against his enemies and come to Rome, he would be most cordially received.

Publicola also brought along a nice Ruger 10-22 (a version of which will probably be my next purchase), and Libercontrarian had a classic single-shot.22 boltie with him.
We tried some clay shooting with Publicola’s side-by-side 12ga, but our skills with the hand clay-thrower left a great deal to be desired, so that didn’t last long.
We had some interesting results with Publicola’s chronie: for example, his.40 Beretta clone was easily smoking along at over 1300fps (which is 200-300fps more than I would have expected), and his.380 Wather clone was doing well over 1000fps (which was making us a little nervous).

 Publicola is an interesting and verbose dude | Prometheus 6
Publicola is a blogger who focuses on the rights of individuals and in particular the Right to Arms—the capitalization is his, and semantically it indicates he deals with it as a high principle.
Further evidence high principles have a collective root is Publicola's mention of a "Right to Arms world." I believe the Right to Arms is an artifact of the specific collective we exist within.
Publicola: The one problem with my ideal system is it relies heavily on a vigilant, well informed, well reasoned, principled (or moral) populace.

Having corresponded with Publicola since the beginning of my blogging days, i can also assure you that he's a hell of a nice guy too.
this week is Publicola's comment to my December 29th entry "Title Goes Here." It wasn't much of an entry on my part, but for some reason the comments thread spun off in the direction of Second Amendment Rights.
One of Publicola's many comments from his dialogue with Jade Gold was especially noteworthy, in my opinion.

Antony together with Publicola took command of the right wing, Caelius [Koilios] was in charge of the left, and Marcus Octavius and Marcus Insteius of the centre.
The command of Antony's fleet was entrusted to Publicola and Sosius.
Publicola to counter this manoeuvre was obliged to advance against him and so became separated from the centre, which was thrown into confusion and was promptly engaged by Arruntius, who commanded the centre of Octavius’s fleet.

Publicola, I really wish I could get you and Tung Yin into a discussion of gun control and individual rights during your joint guest-blogging stint.
Of course, Publicola's response will no doubt be that the other 36% did pretty good work, considering all the damned lawyers they had to deal with.

 Heartless Libertarian
Publicola, in his post One Down, Nineteen Thousand Nine Hundred & Ninety Nine To Go was the first blogger I saw to post this.
Publicola proposes pushing for the repeal of one of what he calls the 'Big 4' of Federal Gun Control Laws: the National Firearms Act of 1934; the Gun Control Act of 1968; the Hughes Amendment to the Firearms Owner Protection Act of 1986; & the Brady Law of 1994.
I don't disagree with any of Publicola's assessment-but I do strongly believe that the laws need to also be challenged in the courts, so that it can be established that Congress lacks the power to enact such laws.

 Rocket Jones: Extreme Mumbledly-peg
Publicola, you are absolutely right with most of what you say, but I still think that the average person will be more frightened by a knife.
A knife is personal, and at the gut-level people will imagine pain and wounds caused by stabs and slashes, whereas a gun just puts a vaguely-conceived hole in you.
Mookie, like Publicola suggests, if you want to learn to throw knives, you should also learn to handle a firearm.

Publicola is depicted as a fop in his overly elegant toga, up to his neck in scrolls; Thrax as a good Roman legionary, but less attractive than Metellus, and Otho as a Silenus-type - decked out in grapes and carrying wine flagons in either hand.

Unfortunately, while the toga had been partially removed in the course of dalliance, the watchers saw Publicola carefully hold onto it and then place it beneath his head, as a pillow, before falling asleep with the courtesan on the couch.

You say, that the security of liberty lys not in the people, but in the form of their government; so I am yet to expect when you will shew, what there is in your form, why it must be impossible for the people under it to restore monarchy, or to persecute for conscience.

Publicola has posted a rather extensive response to my comments about his NRA bashing.
Publicola obviously disagrees with the NRA on where the line should lie, but surely there must be a boundary somewhere.
When Publicola talks of the NRA "helping" to write gun laws, it's as if he thinks the NRA went to Ted Kennedy and said "I had a neat idea for a bunch of new restrictions.

 The War on Guns: Publicola on Hugh Hewitt
I was going through the dial when Hugh Hewitt said he was going to talk about Harriet Miers and the Second Amendment, and that he would be speaking with Publicola, no doubt due to this post.
His voice sounded fine, he handled himself well, but Hewitt was not to be moved and had home field advantage--plus the benefit of being an experienced radio debater.
I thought Publicola's strongest point was referring to Ashcroft saying 2A is an individual right and then making excuses for "reasonable restrictions".

 Stop the Bleating!: Is it really a good idea to let people carry guns on planes?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
I've resisted up until now because gun rights are not a core issue for me, whereas I sense that they are for Publicola, and hence any debate is likely to be less valuable due to my lesser intensity of feeling, which also translates into less thought/research/etc. spent on the matter.
When Publicola and I argue gun issues, it's the 99th percentile arguing with the 98th percentile.
But just try to suggest to Publicola that the government should keep records of gun owners and watch while his howls of outrage shake the pillars of heaven.
