And if he see’s something like an Impala with it’s trunk puffing gun flash while people die, they smoke it....but the argument for disarming the people is null and void the first time that happens.

Or, more likely, the gun grabbers highlight the first time a well-meaning citizen mistakenly shoots an innocent in a "smoked" Impala, and we lose by popular acclaim.

Understand the reality here. The Constitution relies on the will and vigilance of the majority of the people. And the majority of people could be indifferent today and admamantly opposed to the 2nd amendment tomorrow, leaving us in an unprotected minority very quickly.

I agree up to the point you mention “The Constitution relies on the will and vigilance of the majority of the people.” Actually, it doesn’t. A Republic protects the minority. A very good post on FR not long ago...

A Republic -vs- Democracy;
