Description

Molon Labe (Greek: Μολὼν Λαβέ), Meaning "Come And Take Them", Is A Classical Expression Of Defiance. When The Persian Armies Demanded That The Greeks Surrender Their Weapons At The Battle Of Thermopylae, King Leonidas I Responded With This Phrase. It Then Moved In The United States Of America, Both The Original Greek Phrase And Its English Translation Are Often Heard From Pro Second Amendment Activists As A Defense Of The Right To Keep And Bear Arms. It Began To Appear On Web Sites In The Late 1990S And Early 2000S.[7] In The Second Amendment Or Firearms Freedom Context, The Phrase Expresses The Notion That The Person Uttering The Phrase Is A Strong Believer In These Ideals And Will Not Surrender Their Firearms To Anyone, Especially To Governmental Authority.
