"An armed populace must exist in order for a free state to be KEPT free and secure by its armed populace."

Right on!

The other day I was talking on the phone to a relative about the 2nd Amendment and he said we really don't need assault type weapons because they're not for hunting.

I said the 2nd Amendment is not about hunting, it's about the people protecting themselves from a tyranical government and it got him to thinking. I'm going to follow up.

Exactly; but a point you can add (or start with) to open eyes is that ALL of the first 10 amendments are about the people protecting themselves from the things tyrannical governments, throughout history, always do to ensure they can be tyrannical.

Ayers, O, etc. aren’t the first to think of these ways to enslave people; they’re just the latest. Each group of thugs just invents new terms for the same stuff.
