I just think the 2nd amendment needs some updated interpretations, that's all  |
We've had this discussion before and despite the defeatist attitude of alot of people, the civilians of this country could indeed defeat the military. WMD's would not be used against an uprising populace simply because the political ramifications of such would decimate ANY support that the government would need from the rest of the sheeple. Now, if most of you anti gunners would get rid of your craniuminanus affliction, you'd get off your duffs, realize that the people should not only be allowed to own automatic weapons but that it should be mandatory to own at least one, then we'd definitely have a government that truly fears the people and would work FOR us instead of AGAINST us.
