Sard,

Believe Aunty when she says the NRA is lying to us. I lost the link when my hard drive crashed last Dec., but maybe Aunty will repost it. It's about the U.S. Supreme Court decision from around the 1930s that compromised (interpreted) the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. That established the precedent for cities and states to invoke laws more restrictive than what most 2nd Amendment advocates believe.

What do you think about the Constitutional framers intent against there being a permanent army controlled by the Federal government? Hasn't the original meaning of the 2nd Amendment already been lost, given the longstanding presence of the permanent federal army? How would individual citizen/militia defend themselves/ourselves and the Bill of Rights against a Federal tyranny, when the Federal gov't. has a massive permanent army/navy/air force/marines at its disposal?

Fishpolelease,

The UN won't be coming to your home to seize your firearms. If anyone does, it will be your local city police or county sheriff's deputies. And they will have all the necessary legal paperwork allowing them to do so. If you resist, you will be a criminal and subject to the prevailing justice system of your state and federal government. What are you going to do? Shoot at your local cop?

I support the 2nd Amendment. But I also think that other supporters ought to think before they say or write dumb comments.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
