Let's keep bumping this, especially as TPTB try to destroy our right to defend ourselves....a right in both civil and natural law. As my father used to say....self defense is the first law of the jungle....because if you're dead no other laws matter.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1196005 so americans are incapable of self defense without a semi automatic firearm?
This must be the 5th time I've quoted this, but it says alot.
from oathkeepers.org
The whole point of the Second Amendment is to preserve the military capacity of the American people – to preserve the ability of the people, who are the militia, to provide for their own security as individuals, as neighborhoods, towns, counties, and states, during any emergency, man-made or natural; to preserve the military capacity of the American people to resist tyranny and violations of their rights by oath breakers within government; and to preserve the military capacity of the people to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, including those oath breaking domestic enemies within government. It is not about hunting, and at its core, the Second Amendment is not really even about self-defense against private criminals. It is about self-defense against public criminals – against tyrants, usurpers, and foreign invaders.
The truth is that our semi-automatic, military pattern rifles are the single most important kind of arm we can own, and are utterly necessary for effective defense of our lives, property, and liberty.
When you are disarmed of your military rifles, you are DISARMED. At that time, the lion’s share of your military capacity to effectively resist tyranny is removed
