Molon Labe. Raise the Battle Cry

Well, you caught me in a bit of ignorance. I'd not remembered the cry, Molon Labe until it recently began popping back up around the internet.

Come and take them!
Molon labe refers to an ancient Greek expression for "Come and take them!", in reference to unilateral disarmament. Molôn Labé! was the reply of Sparta's King Leonidas to the Persian demand for surrender at the Battle of Thermopylae. The phrase is becoming a modern-day Second Amendment cry of resolve never to disarm in the face of tyranny.
Rather fitting, don'tcha think? It's certainly better than "resist we much".

As always:
Be Seen. Be Heard. And Stand Firm.
