So how has the 2nd Amendment helped?
Hasn't the government slowly but surely taken our liberties right from under our noses? TSA, immense federal govt, no privacy, our Constitution shredded right before us!

Do we not have tens of millions of illegal invaders from foreign lands directly on our soil?

All of this, and so much more, whilst have the 2nd amend and the largest number of private gun ownership this planet has ever known.

Please don't construe this thread as me being anti-gun...in fact I'm a very proud gun owner and advocate for the Constitution.

So again, what good has the 2nd Amendment done at preserving liberty?

Re: So how has the 2nd Amendment helped?
The 2nd Amendment hasn't disallowed tyranny nor enemy invaders.

Therefore the govt isn't worried one bit about private arms...hence we're still allowed to own them. They've simply figured out a way to keep us from using them...which is a helluva lot easier than banning them and confiscating them.

Thoughts?

Re: So how has the 2nd Amendment helped?
It's a solid point OP.

At first I was optimistic that we could fix things working within the system. When that failed I had hoped people would rise up and fix things with a movement. When that failed I said fuck this, It's time to move to another country before this one winds up like Nazi Germany at the end of WWII.

This is the last bastion of freedom in the world.

You had best be prepared to buckle down and fight for your freedom or give up. You will find no other place that offers as much freedom as you have here. The fact that is is being usurped is because we have neglected to be vigilant against tyranny.

If you think you have freedom in the States, you are either delusional or brainwashed..

You vertually have no freedom left...The "patriot" act, The military commisions act, this new one with indefinate detention, now the pres can kill any American he deems a threat?

Last bastion of freedom my ass! if anything you have the least freedoms in the industrialized world, check out the freedoms that Switzerland enjoys....

I see what you're saying in that the Second Amendment has not prevented what appears to be the steady erosion of the Constitution, but let's look at what the Second Amendment says

Second Amendment

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.


What the Constitutional founders had the foresight to say is that the security of a free state requires a well regulated militia and the people of that state will have the right to bear arms, be that the people form that militia.

But since modern times the milita is supplied arms by the state. Now, IMO if the powers of the state disenfranchises the people then the state no longer represents the people and that is where things get complicated, because who does the milita represent? The state that has disenfranchised the people or the people themselves?

That is why I believe the Constitutional writers put in the provision that the people's right to bear arms shall not be infringed, because the powers of the state is subject to corruption and that corruption turns into tyranny, usually against the people.

If anything, I see the Second Amendment as the line that must not be crossed because it could set up for a very bad reaction from the public, and too many people that suspect and debate "we're loosing our freedoms under the Constitution," it would be a blatant indicator that "we are" loosing our freedoms, and at which point I would have to agree.

The Second Amendment has not prevented what is perceived as slowly loosing our rights, but if we are then one day it will have to be crossed and that's when people will know it's not some conspiracy.

Re: So how has the 2nd Amendment helped?
It helped when 2 scumbags came to my house to rob me and probably rape my wife in the process. Joke was on them when, thanks to the 2nd amendment I grabbed my loaded double barrell from next to my bed, waited for the handle to turn and unloaaded. One died right away the other is in jail with out a left arm from the shoulder down. It was a great day in the history of the 2nd amendment.

So fuck you for being a stupid liberal and thinking guns are bad. Sillly liberal step into the real world.

I agree with you. I believe they are trying to figure out, by passing all these quiet laws under our noses, to take away our 2nd amendment, as OP said in first post. It is our last weapon - as you state. Just a matter of time through a false flag (imho) that will instigate martial law, and banning our weapons. It is then, chaos will ensue.
