The Ancient Greek phrase μολὼν λαβέ (molṑn labé; reconstructed Ancient Greek pronunciation [mo'lɔːn la'be]; Modern Greek pronunciation [moˈlon laˈve]) means "Come and take them". It is a classical expression of defiance reportedly spoken by King Leonidas I in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase.

Instapundit blogger Glenn Reynolds interviews gun-blogger Bob Owens today. Good conversation.
We tip our furry ushanka to Bob for discussing the significance of April 19, 1775 at the 4-minute mark. Everybody needs to know about that day.

UPDATED 12:15pm:
We highly recommend Bob's latest post about the four boxes. This paragraph stands out:
Sober and reflective men who have seen the horrors of combat in far away nations are grimly preparing their kit for a conflict within the borders of our Republic. They do this not because they desire an interruption of our domestic tranquility, but because they’ve already seen it shattered.
