Re: Bring Your Own Gun

Remember that the 2nd Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights. These are personal rights of liberty and property. They were meant to limit the power of the federal government. The colonists fighting for their freedom against Britain would surely have demanded a right to keep and bear arms, not because they were afraid of lions, tigers and bears, but because they were afraid of another tyrannical government that could disarm them and remove the last resort of resistance to tyranny.

Yep, pretty much....

I think this was a great idea but it is just too difficult to logically take the side of my opponents on this issue, as they base thier arguemnts on assumption and lack of knowledge.

you see how fast this thread died, how can you argue the other way?
