[quote:Publius-By-The-Sea 25512144:MV8yMDk3MzUyXzM1MzI1NjEwX0U2NEFGQTIz] A nation is concerned that the magical symbol they rely upon to demonstrate that they are free is to be circumscribed as every single other nominal freedom 300 million gun owners quietly and calmly agreed to. There is both something preposterous in the idea that losing this symbol means freedom is lost and something true. What is true is that slaves do not need guns, and voters with guns cheerfully chose slavery. What is preposterous is to think ownership of a gun protects you from governmental tyranny. 300 million gun owners support the status quo. No pissing and moaning gun holders, you are more free in this very moment than you will be with your guns one year from now. [/quote]
Original Message
"The Second Amendment was designed to ensure that individuals retained the right and means to defend themselves against any illegitimate attempt to do them harm, be it an attempt by a private outlaw or government agents violating their trust under the color of law. The Second Amendment was meant to guarantee individuals the right to protect themselves against government as much as against private bad guys and gangs."
