Re: Idiot...

"the second amendment was formulated when the army fought with firearms. Allowing the citizens to keep firearms would keep the government at bay. However, progress created tanks, helicopters, planes, bombs, drones, nukes, rockets, radios, satellites, ... Unless the common citizen has access to those, having firearms is pointless." tanks, helicopters, planes, bombs, drones, nukes and rockets tend to destroy the infrastructure. What good is a dictatorship without people to push around? Besides, "it's better to burn out than fade away." "Live free or die." "You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead fingers." "We, and all others who believe in freedom as deeply as we do, would rather die on our feet than live on our knees." "Better remain silent, better not even think, if you are not prepared to act." "America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedom it will be because we destroyed ourselves." "A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom." "China used their army with tanks on Tian'anmen. One man stopped the tanks - the picture went around the world - he had 2 grocery bags in his hands. This actions with news coverage was more powerful than any arms." They shot that one man that stopped the tanks. "When the blacks demonstrated in that one big city in the US last year, they explicitly told demonstrators to leave firearms at home and be peacefully." That's just the thing... if they outlaw guns here the honest people will turn in their guns and the thug criminals will keep theirs. Besides, I don't want to wait for the cops to show up to arrest the guy that killed me. I'm more of a do-it-yourself kind of guy.
