"I have said not one word denigrating the amendment"

You said this:

""a ragtag bunch of "militia" with no training and no advanced weaponry could defeat a modern army. Few things are more laughable."

"defeating Bush is the surest way to remove even MORE 2d amendment rights."

None of those folks would be defeating Bush. They'd just ignore him. Also, Bush by his possible action would be rendering the 2nd worthless, just as he did with the 1st. Anyone that ignores the Bill of Rights and treats them with such disregard does so at their own peril. Their comes a point when folks need to realize they're in a pot on slow boil, jump out and put an end to the BS.

Oh, the myth of the boiled frog is the basis for your thinking. That makes as much sense as the other arguments posted.

Stating some facts about the militias is not denigrating the second since I don't believe it is valid only with "well regulated" militias. Not that we HAVE any of those anymore.

Reducing Bush's strength by encouraging people not to vote for him is as good a method to defeat him as any. Nor would renewing the AWB totally destroy the 2d amendment any more than it has already. Such comments are absurdly silly.
