No. Remember-- you are chiming into a conversation with Byron that I was responding to as well

I don't think he does either.

I'm the party of Jefferson.

 

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" -- Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

 

That's essentially what the 2nd amendment is about.  To protect "the security of a free state". And that protection may not necessarily be needed from against a foreign power.

After the incident, Michael Hayden, the former director of the CIA and National Security Agency told CNN: “Well, let me say, if someone had have said that outside the hall he’d be in the back of a police wagon now with the secret service questioning him.”


Speaking about Trump’s presidential bid, he added: “You get to a certain point in this business and you’re not just responsible for what you say, you are responsible for what people hear.”

Then there you go. It wont be senators and reps banging on your door for your gun there Randy Weaver.

And if they come then it will get bloody fast. And then those politicians will start getting whacked. And then we'll have a civil war. Or a total tyranny. Either way it wont be some bloodless affair.

And the 100 million gun owners won't be cowering in their homes waiting for the knock on the door.  Alexander Solzhenitsyn has a cautionary tale about being taken to the Soviet gulag:

 

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

LOL, nobody is coming for anyones guns...  Show me proof that they are.  What gun restrictions have occured in 8 years of Obama's administration?  

 

You people need to calm down.  And by the way, the 2nd Amendment option is not a political option.  It's all out war.  Anyone that uses the term knows what they are saying.  Using the 2nd Amendment, or getting the 2nd Amendment people to stop something is to say that an assassination or a civil war needs to happen.

You want proof that they're coming for our guns, yet, some of us want proof that they're not.. They already blame the guns for murders yet the 2nd Amendment never killed anyone. People will always find a way..

Find a way for what?  The 2nd Amendment protects gun owners.  The supreme court has set precedent that guns cannot be excluded from cities...  It's a done deal.  

 

You're letting the elite in the GOP (including now trump) tug at your fears to keep you in line.  As a liberal, I'll let you know that I'm not even for repealing the 2nd amendment.

 

I think there is some benefit to it.  I'd prefer some regulation, but I'm sure we can come to common ground on that.  But again, nobody is coming for your guns.

 

It's not up to us to prove that we are not...  It's dog on near impossible to prove a negative.  You need to provide proof of the affirmative that Obama, and now Hillary are coming for your guns.

It's the only way any Republican wins anymore. Generate fear.


Scary Muslims want to kill us.

Scary liberals want to take our guns.

Scary foreigners want to take your jobs.

Scary homosexuals want destroy your family.


It's all they got for a platform. Fear, fear, and more fear.

It seems the battle of right and left covers up lots of issues and prevents anything actually ever been done to improve them.

There was a thread about abortion where JJ and I actually compromised on a cut off point for legal abortions... I believe we settled on 13 weeks or something...  

 

It's prove positive that your right.  The media, and the elites that have embedded themselves within the Democratic and Republican parties try to make this a blue v. red fight in which actually policies are never debated.

 

It's sad.  I'll give this for the trumpettes -  at least the ones on this board - they are willing to actually discuss topics.  It seems the GOP type conservatives are more into fighting the same tired red v. blue arguement that really get's us nowhere.  To be fair I get sucked into it at times too.  It's hard not to.  But I think libertarians, progressives, and trumpettes have alot of common ground that we could agree on if we stopped bickering all the time.
