people always seem to forget that the gun law is our "RESTART" button. if the government or police get out of line we have a way to overthrow them. if other countries are content with their brick throwing revolts, so be it.TomNook said:

I doubt Ben Franklin, who said "A little revolution now and again can be a healthy thing", would be too surprised at the gross increase in power the federal government gave itself after 200 years of going unchecked.
My argument is that sure, having guns is awesome if you need to overthrow your government, the only problem is your rifle won't do you much when you're faced with a tank. So why bother?BallPtPenTheif post=18.68202.628851 said:
True but if you think that then people think your some right wing freak. If you read many of our founding fathers papers Mr jefferson particularly they advocated firearm ownership for that very reason. Scary how many people are so willing to give up rights for "security"TomNook post=18.68202.628826 said:
They'd be suprised at the economy they'd say in my day a nickel could get you a horse 3 meals and with 2 pennies leftover.
Indeed. There were very diverse viewpoints among them, which just makes their accomplishment all the more amazing. Some were for a strong central government, some for a weak central government, some pro-slavery, some anti-slavery. (They get no points from me for freeing the slaves in their wills, though. Giving up something once you've no further way to use it is hardly a meaningful gesture, and fighting for abolition whilst holding slaves is just typical politicianry, do what I say not what I do.)dukeh016 post=18.68202.628192 said:
Like your glock is going to stop the military? The government? Ever hear of metal storm? Google it, see what the army has and just imagine what they probably have underwraps if they -really- want to play hardball.
No, but 150 million guns ranging from glocks to semis can.

Well it's not that great. We raped, slaughtered and stole from the Aboriginies and it's only now that we said sorry to them.puffbro1 said:

But really. I bet you the first thing they would notice is that blacks were walking around free.
That was what the country was founded upon.. All men are created equal. Except those dark skinned folks. And those red skinned folks we killed to to build our beautiful homes.
