"The Second Amendment is about making sure the population would not be controlled, dominated or oppressed by a government," Swann explained. "It's not my place to tell you what the Founders were thinking, or what they would be thinking today. But the principle of what they put into place had nothing to do with the kind of weapon they were guaranteeing, it was simply about matching force."

Nicely, and succinctly stated.

And, dear FRiends, this is the best argument in favor of our Second Amendment. We should avoid being drawn into trivial discussions about magazine size or military appearance, and etc, as these are losing arguments when the opposing side is playing to emotions.

The Second Amendment most clearly defines the fundamental relationship between the citizens of this country and those we choose to govern us.

If one really wanted to know what the Founders thought its quite easy to find out. They left volumes on the subject.

Perfectly said. Only those with a European mind-set , where an elite ruled guarded by police forces and military at its beck and call fail to understand this. Ironically, these same characters failed to understand that we had so much trouble subduing Iraq because Saddam had flooded the country with weapons. My son spent a year patrolling Bagdad, rounding up weapons and almost every household had multiple weapons. Aghanistan represents a similar problem, because the men are so inured to violence that All some Gideon has to do is to issue a call to arms and he has a fighting band to serve him.

This can’t be said enough. I hope people all over the nation “man up” and be unafraid to speak the truth to power. If they do not, they will lose the battle over guns.
