the most misquoted amendment.
The Second Amendment.
"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. "
The point of this amendment not being an individuals right, but looking back to the good ol frontier times and the overthrowing of the readcoats, the fact that if a government bans the right to bear arms it them makes it easier for a government to move to dictatorship using the governments backed military power. The right to bear arms enables the people to rise up against that threat and use similar weaponary power.
I wonder why when the government has nuclear and other far more powerful weaponary the NRA has not pushed for the militia to be able to own similar.
I think I am gonna get me one of those decommisioned Jaguars off the UK government, some AMRAMs and SCUDs, maybe some Bunker Busters so that if the government turns against us we can fight back.
