the BIG difference between THESE United States of America and all of the other freedom-loving countries that turned into tyrannies is WE have a Second Amendment and not a single one of the others did. why do you think our government wants your guns? the Founders of this Great nation KNEW what the future would be under an all powerful government because THEY had read and studied all of the great works we take for granted. WE, as Americans, have a Constitutional right to change our form of government but the ONLY GUARANTEE we have been given to protect that right is the Second Amendment. lose this right and all of the rest do not matter.
Our Revolution was touched off (flintlock term) by a tyrannical King attempting to confiscate our weapons.
