The 2nd amendment does guarantee the right for American citizens to bear arms, and they dont mean the appendages swinging from either side of the torso.



Keep your politics away from my firearms and everything will be fine.



If not, the dime club says i'm a member because I can put 5 rounds inside the diameter of a dime at 300 yards, I doubt putting 1 in your chest at 100 yards will be hard.

Way to put feelings into words

 

Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.



Thomas Jefferson

"No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Proposed Virginia Constitution, June, 1776

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms. . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book, 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764 .

 

yeah 1774 has alot to do with 300 years later.



and goodluck overthrowing the government they have too many 'patriots' running around.

 

Since we know criminals will get guns one way or another, let's do a simple test.



We'll all go stand on a street corner with 100lbs of gold boullion per person, I'll have my Mossberg 835, my SKS, and mu H&K USP9 copmact strapped to me, the rest of you can stand there with marigolds. We'll see who gets jacked last.

People are still the same. our tools and technology may change, but the human mentality is consistent throughout the ages.



What Thomas Jefferson said is VERY true.

 

BTW the "arms" Mr. Jefferson was referring to were the assult weapons of the day.

In the late 1700's defence & hunting weapons were an assumption not even worth noting.

The "malitia" of that day has evolved to the permitting process of today.
