'Molon labe' is ancient Greek expression meaning "Come and take it!". It has been one of the slogans of the Second Amendment unalienable rights movement in America among conservative and libertarian veterans, patriots, preppers and gun enthusiasts.
It is King Leonidas' defiant reply to the Persians demand at the start of the Battle of Thermopylae for his 300 Spartans to surrender their arms.
Among American conservatives and libertarians the expression has become a modern-day Second Amendment rallying cry of resolve never to forget our unalienable rights to self-defense, home security and deterrence against big government tyranny by disarming in the face of the new Federal Nanny state-Police state.
In the Texas Revolution, the phrase "Come and take it" was also a rallying cry.
