Tyranny And The 2nd Amendment

Tyranny comes in many forms ---

"Mankind will in time discover that unbridled majorities are as tyrannical and cruel as unlimited despots." – John Adams

Today's outrage of AIG and their Obama approved bonuses is an fine example of Adams' quote.

The Second Amendment went through a sort of rebirth last year, when a crystal clear ruling from the US Supreme Court ruled that it does indeed protect an individual right to keep and bear arms. And it spelled out two primary purposes, neither of which includes duck hunting. The first was the right to self defense. Isn't that one obvious? The second is the right to defend country against all enemies foreign and domestic. And yes it did establish that common infantry weapons available to the military were in fact the weapons that were to be protected from government. That would be those 'black scary' weapons Diane Feinstein is always waving around saying they should be banned.

Well for liberals, it amounted to a rebirth, if not an abortion.

The idea of tyranny is to reduce the effectiveness of the enemy, the enemy, that would be the people the tyrants rule over. And with a whole lot of nations of the world, Mexico being our closest neighbor is one of the worse (they prevent their citizens from owning a military caliber weapon) -- Most tyrannical nations take the approach of restricting military style arms from civilian use. Makes the tyrants job a whole lot safer and much easier.

You can extrapolate what you will from the way our Democrats and tyrants behave towards 'black scary' weapons and draw your own conclusions. Did you ever think that they are black because that is one of the easiest plastics to make durable? Personally I prefer wood stocked, but the durability factor is far in favor of plastics.

Most in the Supreme Court chamber seem to agree that the Second Amendment protects an individual right. The issues most in contention include the meaning of the words "keep" and "bear," and whether the amendment protects the possession of arms only during militia service or also for self-defense; whether a total ban on handguns is a "reasonable" regulation of firearms; whether restrictions on the right to arms should be subject to "strict scrutiny," or legislatures or courts should be able to decide what is "reasonable;" and what kinds of regulations would be "reasonable" under the Second Amendment.

To allow easily access and the ability to navigate through all of the detailed information we've compiled on District of Columbia v. Heller, NRA-ILA unveils a new site -http://www.nraila.org/heller/-that contains related articles and the dozens of amicus briefs filed in the case.

A Gallup poll finds that an overwhelming majority of the United States public-73%-believes that the Second Amendment guarantees the right of Americans to own firearms.

Consider that socialism and Communism in it's varying forms killed 100-125 million people throughout the 20th century, in pursuit of perfection. Next time you hear some socialist extolling the virtues, you might want to bring this up.
