Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, It’s About Tyranny

What was that? I was mesmerized by your sig pic...

Chairman Mao once said power grows out of the barrel of a gun and that is what it is. Power. People who want all the guns want all the power. The US Constitution gives some of that power to the citizens. Why? As Ice T recently said, it's the last resort against tyranny. Not to target shoot or to hunt. It's a source of power. Period.

Tyrants know it's power and people who want to defend freedom know it.

What amazes me when we live in a day where government corruption is rampant and people want to continue to give a bunch of lying power hungry despots more power. Why? They promise good things. Well talk is cheap and actions speak. History speaks and apparently society has learned nothing from it.

What exactly is that picture supposed to mean, Brian? That you want to "do" a marine in kevlar? By the way, I didn't know Fallujah, Iraq was a Red State...

[Nitro Express]

Yeah I knew who started it , thought he meant 200 years in general not 200 years by china ...

As for the over here bit .... Man we were getting tired of keeping them nazi up and were looking share the glory about

The Chinese had the technology to be world travelers and they did go out and about but never were much into colonizing. About the only place the Chinese have taken over is Tibet. Right now instead of running a big military around and trying to keep up a huge number of overseas bases they are becoming the number one customer and business partner. But they can be jackass bullies when someone flys a Taiwan flag in the olympics. They will throw a tizzy fit and pressure the authorities to take it down. They tried this in Salt Lake City. Someone was flying a Taiwan flag off their own balcony. The response was the neighbors all flew Taiwan flags and told the Chinese to get fucked. The strange thing is there are more and more Taiwan owned factories in mainland China. Go figure.

I think Brian's picture alludes that the red state youth get suckered into fighting lame wars because of the false patriotism and gung ho mind set while the blue state youth are smart enough to avoid military service and party it up in gay parades. Of course if it ever came down to really needing someone to defend us, I would take that marine in kevlar over the two poofs.

[Nickdfresh]

Notice how these intellectually defective essayists that write about the Second Amendment and tie it to universal, unrestricted gun-rights never actually quote it?

....and yet they keep voting for the fucking idiots who start them.

[Nitro Express]

That's because an evil Republican is less evil than an evil Democrat.

[FORD]

As far as I'm concerned, an evil Democrat is worse.

Because I expect Republicans to evil, which is why I don't vote for them.

Democrats aren't supposed to support evil, but unfortunately, many of them have since 1992 or so.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the basic idea of the 2nd amendment wasnt intended for hunting or protecting yourself from a crazy guy busting your door down...but it was, in addition to the rest of the bill of rights, intended to protect "the people" from an overbearing, overreaching government. Considering the government has weapons that allows them to sit off the coast and take out each house in your neighborhood one by one, standing on the front porch with a rifle wont do much good. If one really wanted to follow the "spirit" behind the 2nd amendment, you would have to allow everyone access to all the weapons the government currently has...obviously not feasible. In other words, the 2nd amendment is one of the most outdated laws on the books. We might as well be talking about a law prohibiting women from wearing dresses above the ankles on sundays.

I agree.. if we only had a boat and a drill press and some steel pipe and knew the, SECRET OF GUNPOWDER!!!

Word has been once said, that we to will also know the secret of fllight ...but ye..knoweth.. there it is said, to be a man that cometh in the future to deliver unto us the ability, to pour gasoline into a engine and then the government will!! PAY!!!!

Get with the program .

Some nice assault weapons in the appropriately trained hands of a small percentage of citizens who understand freedom would be enough to stop the tyrannical federal government in its tracks...

It might be way more difficult now that Obama has the UN and foreign governments involved...

They are going to attempt to disarm the public soon, though...
