Speaking of whackjob constimatooshinalists, and our right to anti-aircaft guns & cannons:

Yes, I support the Second Amendment.

And I make no bones about its purpose or to whom it applies. It was not put in place so Bill and Hillary Clinton could go duck hunting with a shotgun or so Barbara Steisand could carry a derringer in her purse to stave off overzealous fans. It's there because the founders wanted to ensure that we the people (ie, individuals) should remain armed to defend ourselves from a government gone bad.

As far as I'm concerned, we should be allowed to park fully operational Sherman tanks in our garages and commute via fighter planes (if we wish). Now, personal nukes capable of taking out large cities.... hmmmm.... I don't know if I want to trust some of the crazier antiwar libs with those. 1,219 posted on 04/17/2003 5:04 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

Amen and amen! This was the founding father's intent as most of you well know. Not some finch-plinking notion that I can hunt to eat(though, this also false under basic human rights).
