It is precisely this for which the Second Amendment was designed.

Well, actually, although it is very good for this type of protection, the 2nd amendment was actually designed to keep big government in check...to ensure there was no all powerful government capable of subduing all of the people.

I believe that the Micahel Moores and their ilk understand this protection very well and it is the principle reason they want it done away with...so they and their ilk can have a free hand.

The protection the seond amendment thus affords is also, as I say, very good for protection against the lesser criminals associated with looting and civil upheavel during such disasters as well, which are also perfectly capable of making you dead if you are not suitably armed.

Is Michael Moore actually in favor of total disarmament or more gun control because there is a difference? I'm not a Michael Moore fan so don't flame me but I think it is important to accurately report a person's position on a given topic. I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, that gun control advocates are actually seeking some form of stiffer control....maybe not as bad as Canada but stiffer than the current US laws.

You obviously understand the Second Amendment AND the left's reasons for wanting it done away with. This is why they are so "flat earth" about it and arguments against registration and confiscation have no resonance with them.

They want the guns taken up for the same reasons the Nazis and the Soviets wanted them taken up.

Congratulations on your reference to "lesser criminals." It implies that socialists like Michael Moore are greater criminals, which they certainly are.
