Yet you patriots so adamant of having guns so you can fight against a corrupt government did nothing about 911 or the bank bailouts or its intentional crash.  Cowards who just want to keep their toys but don't truly care what they are for.

U.S. citizens are generally a peaceful people.  We are not going to start shooting until they directly come after us.

As long as the people are armed, the Gov. overlords are NOT going to attempt to attack us.  What they want to do is disarm us first.

So, the arming of the population is a [i]defensive measure[/i] (initially) that is meant to hold the Government in check.  Obviously, it's not working.  But that is because TPTB have superior military forces than the people.  In order to rectify the situation, the people must re-vitalize the Militias, and more heavily arm, train, and equip themselves.  Certainly, we must not [i]reduce[/i] our level of arms.

We lost the battle against tyranny long ago.  You're dreaming if you think the American people would ever stand a chance against their own government's power.  Ask the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan how that's going for them.

Original Message Here is the language of the Second Amdendment to the U.S. Constitution:

"Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Note the language that this militia is "necessary to the security of a free state". This means that this militia is ABLE TO DEFEND AGAINST FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC ENEMIES IN WARFARE...ie, be able to defend against a modern army of the day.

The original meaning of the language "well regulated" here basically means "properly trained and equipped." Also, the original meaning of the term "militia" is basically "every able bodied male who could serve in the army."

Thus, putting this Amendment into "modern" language, it is saying:

"A properly equipped and trained population of able-bodied men, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
