I'll back off on my assessment somewhat as to your motivations....the Second Amendemnt is the one I'm thinking of.

I can see the likes of Hillary, Feinswein, Schumer, et. al. licking their collective chops in anticipation of using these newly granted powers of the govnernment on us "extremists" who believe that the intent of the Second was to intimidate the Government into respecting the restrictions the Constitution places on it.

Be very careful what you let out of Pandora's box.

The 2nd amendment is allowing me to do something for this war effort. I am a gun owner and proud of my right to do so. Our local sheriff's office has called for any gun owner to volunteer to patrol areas that they do not have the staff to cover (grocery stores, water supplies, utilities, etc.) so they can take a proactive stance against crime still. You would be pleasantly suprised at the number of volunteers in this area (near Tampa, FL). I was and makes me prouder to be an American every day.

I appreciate all of your comments on this thread. I'm hopeful that the vigilance=treason mentality will soon die down.
