FACT: Guntards aren't fighting to keep their weapons because of a deep love of the Constitution..

Dude, what's your problem? If you don't like guns, don't buy one. Quit acting like a such a hysterical bitch.

No, it's because of fear. They fear loss, attack and the stripping away of their rights.

Now, this fear does not make any of these things suddenly real, but that's why they fight to maintain their gun rights. They are very afraid.

*Just so that no one feels insulted here, fear isn't a sin or a bad thing, if there is a legitimate threat. It's a biological early warning system. Listening to it if you feel threatened is a good thing in general. Just don't let it control you past the bounds of reason.

It's true, when's the last time the American citizenship used its guns to protect their collective national interests against ANYTHING except the possibility of their own self-defense?

It is called "THE LAST RESORT".

Should America fall, and a dictator take power,
Americans would have in their possession the POWER
to REMOVE the dictator, or king, or conqueror,
and restore the Constitution.

Here is what the prevailing thought was,
that formed the Second Amendment,
from one of our founders,
Tenche Cox, Pennsylvanian delegate
to the Continental Congress:

"The militia of these free commonwealths,
entitled and accustomed to their arms,
when compared with any possible army,
must be tremendous and irresistible.
Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves?
Is it feared, then, that we shall turn
our arms each man against his own bosom.
Congress have NO POWER to disarm
the militia. Their swords, and EVERY OTHER
TERRIBLE IMPLEMENT OF THE SOLDIER,
are the BIRTH-RIGHT of an American ...
the unlimited power of the sword is not
in the hands of either the federal
or state governments, but,
where I trust in God
it will ever remain,
in the hands of the people."

Speaking of the fears of a WELL ARMED CITIZENRY
turning their arms against each other,
(you can see there were liberals even then)
Cox dismisses them immediately.

The MILITIA IS NOT the Continental Army,
it is WE, THE PEOPLE.

Guntards are hypocrites. Many guntards in congress and senate both voted for the patriot act. This law took away more of our rights than anything before, or since.


OP is dead on the money. This is not about the constitution.

So here's an experiment for you to prove something to yourself.

Dress up in your finest clothes.
Put on your best jewellery.
WALK into the worst part of your major city AT NIGHT.
When you see a shady group of people gathered near a corner walk up to them and tell them the following.

"I'm not from around here. I'm walking through the neighborhood. Can you lead me to any interesting sights?"

If we never hear from you again, we'll assume you've learned a lesson.

What the fuck are you talking about... congress does not represent the people any more. They passed a bill with language to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial?

Ron Paul was the only man in congress that was even protecting the constitution.

Majority of people in America do not even know what the Patriot act entails, because the media neglected to show details.

The citizens of America still want their freedoms protected and yes that has everything to do with the constitution.

BINGO!

It is estimated that less than 17% of the Colonists took part in the war to throw off the yoke of the english king, and tyranny. I doubt that many more than that would consider owning a gun for that same purpose today, and yet that would still be a substantial number of people.
