To: Second Amendment First
Second Amendment protections were put in place so that citizens could shoot operatives of an oppressive government, not deer.

"Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn't allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it."

There is nothing new in anything the man says. I like the way he neatly avoids the fact that if it were not for an armed citizenry, The Revolutionary War could not have been fought.

Gun ownership, in the Founding Father’s day, was never given a second thought. It was simply a part of everyday life.

This revisionism is classic left nonsense. The constitution clearly states that the Fed. Gov’t is only endowed by the powers expressly defined in the Constitution. No where does the Constitution give the Fed. Gov’t. the power to outlaw gun ownership.

I can understand why Marxists want to ban guns, but they do not have the right to do it.

It is typical of this loon that he will be perfectly happy being a victim of a crime rather than fight back.
