re: We are one Supreme Court justice away from having our gun rights stripped

This is why it's so important for Scalia, Kennedy and Thomas to test their health and stay on until Rand Paul is elected President of the United States of America, and then appoint replacements that are young as shite, preferably in their very earlly 40's. If those three can make it to 2017 with their health intact, we'll have dodged a political torpedo. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and Ginsburg leaves the court under President Paul.

Rubio will get the nomination, but I generally agree with you.

I have a BIL in the military and he said he's done if they try and take people's guns. I think the US would find many non compliant personnel if they ordered them to forcibly take our guns.

Can I declare myself a militia? You know, a militia of one.
the left mis use the term as it is defined in the constitution

I think it's pathetic that our Supreme Court has come down to justices voting their individual ideologies rather than actually interpreting the law.
I guess it was bound to happen.

George Washington's address to the second session of the First U.S. Congress:
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens' firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that's good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour."

You are right about this, at least
I love when liberals say "What good is your gun going to do against the US Government when they can kill you with a drone 2,500 miles away?"
Two things about that, one good luck finding someone willing to drone a U.S. citizen standing up for his rights. Two, if a military member was found that would be willing to drone a U.S. citizen for standing up for his rights, that would cause an absolute revolt/riot nationwide.

Its never going to come to that. You cant even have an opinion on homosexuality or race in this country anymore, you think our mindset would allow a weaponized assault on our own citizens? Even the libs would lose their shite.

If someone injures your side, your instinct is to injure theirs in spades.

Yeah, because when I think of rational level headed Americans the first thing that comes to mind are the Branch Davidians

You think those kids would have died had the federal incompetents simply arrested Koresh in town? Rationale?

No, but I also know that the fact that most of them were bat shite crazy (at best, insanely deluded) played a significant role. First, opening fire on federal agents with kids in the building was their choice. Second, they intentionally started the fire that ultimately killed everyone. Third, they were in fact breaking multiple laws...precisely because they were an overzealous movement led by a madman. They were illegally obtaining weapons, molesting children, abusing women, etc. Many of the dead, including most of the children, were killed not by the FBI or the fire but forced or willful ingestion of cyanide.

They won't ban guns. If they did, it would be Civil War 2. I have no doubt about that.

Why they don't go to the Constitutions owners manual (Federalist, Anti-Federalist Papers) baffles me. It's all there in black and white

What a great quote by Washington. I wish we had leaders elected like him today .
Posted on 4/12/14 at 9:42 pm to HubbaBubba
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the right to bear arms a natural right? And the constitution simply recognizes that? So then, natural rights can never be taken?
