Unfortuntely they have already taken the second amedment away from everyone by limiting what kind of "arm" you may own, placing severe restrictions on where they can be and hiw you can "bear" it, and limiting anyone who has violated one of countles infractions from having arms to begin with. We have already been effectively disarmed. Gun rights is an illusion.
It is sad you can't own an atom bomb if you're schizophrenic.
I also frequently cry that child rapist murderers can't purchase AK-47s.
So unfair...
I'd think awfully carefully before I would endorse 100% unrestricted "arms" access. Awfully.

You really should read the constitution and it's amendments.

Really? You *actually* disagree with my sentiments about either of those two above scenarios?
No, I didn't say that
I think your comment re atomic weapons is silly.
And a Felon cannot own a firearm.
I think you are being overly dramatic and if you fear an AK47 over any other firearm you watch too much TV.

“ Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of nineteen years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right.

The problem with Internet quotes is that you can't always depend on their accuracy.

"Necessity is te plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves" -William Pitt-
"An armed society, is a polite society" -Robert A Heinlein-
It is the lack of personal responsability that allows dangerous morons to victimize the rest of us. If we were ALL armed, the predators would disapear very fast.
The natural progression of gun laws will have us all living in cages one day for our own "safety".

Pretty sure you took that to the extreme. I'd agree that bad apples should loose there rights, hence felons cant own firearms. Nonetheless he is right that with all the simple infractions and petty laws a LEO can stop you and demand that you cooperate.
Subversively I believe we are loosing our first amendment rights with political correctness. If someone is afraid to speak there mind because of big brother, you no longer have the freedom of speech.
I dont think freedom comes free either. There are many many responsibilities that come along with it, Personal responsibility not governmental responsibility. just my :twocents:
