To followed the intended meaning of the 2nd Amendment, a citizen has the rights to the same weapons/ammo as the government is willing to use against them otherwise the 2nd Amendment is completely meaningless.
If the government is willing to use superior fire power against its own citizens and prevent the citizens from arming themselves to an equal extent then again the 2nd becomes meaningless.
This is what needs to be thrown back at any liberal who uses the Saul Alinsky deceptive debate tactic of mocking us by saying so Americans can have the atomic bomb? Ha, Ha, Ha.
No, even as off the rails as our federal government has become I don’t think for a nano-second they would use a nuke against us but they sure will use a lot of automatic weapons with 100’s of rounds.
“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.” — George Washington
Thanks for your post - you get it.
As glad that I am that the cops got this terrorist, and did so using great equipment and reasonable training (not expert perhaps, but they finally got the job done) - I looked at those videos as being on the receiving end of it if the cops and Feds ever get turned to the dark side.
Even with semi-autos and large magazines, an individual is seriously out gunned. Also shows the need to have a support group. Otherwise when they come to your house for your guns your just another nutcase with an “arsenal” of weapons and ammo.
