We're also an armed society - which is why a lot of folks have thought twice about invading us and which is likely why the dems want us disarmed and the rinos would prefer to help them. An armed public can be an unknown quantity and tough to plan for if one intends to do things that might incite them to revolt..

Which is why the Second Amendment has to be abolished. Confiscation cannot occur unless there is no constitutional safeguard against its happening. The abolition of the Second Amendment will also set a cultural precedent that will make confiscation more palatable to those more inclined to by the government lie of a globalist, market-based utopia.

Don't be surprised if this doesn't happen under a Republican administration. Those most likely to pull the plug on private ownership of firearms could very well be those who campaigned most stringently in its favor.

I would caution you, however. 200 million guns in the hands of 80 million armed citizens, or however those numbers play out, does not an army make.

Maybe not; but, it makes a lot of Buttholes and elbows gettin away from it. I'm not military; but, I can bulseye a still target dead center at 100yds with a .44 bulldog. I can bullseye a moving target at the same distance with the same gun repeatedly. And it's a tough weapon for me to control. I didn't grow up with a gun in my hands, I'm just a natural at it. And to be honest, there isn't much to aiming and firing a weapon. So, it isn't rocket science and anyone can do it. What makes an army is simple, injustice and determination. Our founders are proof of that.
