Well, then, I want my F-22. I want to be able to own an Abrams tank. I want to have a battleship or an Aircraft Carrier. Because, according to the logic being applied here, the only way I, or anyone else, can legitimately claim my 2nd amendment right is to have weapons which can be used to defend myself (and others) from our Government, and the only way in which to be able to defend ourselves from that Government is to have the same weapons they have as a civilian. I have a hard time with that logic.

You have a hard time with that logic because you are ignorant of history.You CAN own an Abrams tank, if you can afford one. And as far as a battleship or aircract carrier? Maybe you should spend a little more time reading US History, and less time spouting ignorance on the internet. During the early years of our Republic private ships were indeed armed with "guns" better known as cannon. Ever hear the term "privateer"? Completely legal privately owned warships. It wasn't until blssninnies like you started to wet your pants over law abiding citizens arms ownership that it became a popular belief that the only reason to own weapons was for "sporting purposes".

Sorry if this sounds unkind. But I and many others are about fed up with your kind. You have NO right to champion the depravation of our God given rights. Read the founding fathers, then come back here and tell us if you still feel this way.

Thanks for that.

Someone had to tell this nitwit the truth.
