pointing_dogs_rule Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I'll just quote Thomas Jefferson: (and NO I am not some fringe luantic) "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 First off the Second Amendment has ZERO to do with hunting. The Second Amendment insures every law abiding citizen the RIGHT ( not privilege ) to keep and bear arms for self defense and the security of a free state from domestic and foreign tyranny. This blanket covers all arms not just rifles. Of course this is my inturpitation of the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier07 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 My opinion is all of the above.. I agree with both of you so with that being said why is every one so up in arms about the goverment taking away our arms? They dont have the right or power to do so.. They may think they do but its in ink, they dont. Atleast that my opinion.. You may think im a idiot however I served my country in both wars and it wasnt so i could come back just to have them take my weapons. Does any one else agree with me?

pointing_dogs_rule Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Soldier07: Thanks for your service to this country. I never thought that the US could condem my house so that "for the good of the community" they could build a shopping center, I never thought that the US EPA could put all types of restrictions on how I farm, I never thought that the US could tell me what type of light bulb could be in my house. My point is that the government has been finding ways to infringe on our rights and I believe they will continue to do so.... "especially under this president" good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with half a brain should be able to understand this one. Of course in these times with our perfect system of gov't nobody wants to even consider this issue as being valid, but it's as relevant this day as it was at the time of the signing of the amendment. How long is this country going to stand while it keeps printing money at the rate it's going? I have no idea, but what goes up eventually comes down, and I'll be holding onto my guns and my bible I suppose as BO says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COEngineer Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I thought this was a joke thread..."bare arms" means you have your sleeves pulled up. The 2nd amendment codifies your right to bear arms (possess weapons) for the defense of free people from an oppressive government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 it's all been said above real well. we have arms first and formost so that the tyrannical goverment (england) that the founders of our country left, could never rule here. we now have a tyrannical goverment telling us to give up our guns and making laws of why we can't have guns. it's mostly smoke & mirrors as the supereme court already ruled against these very laws. but, with obama the court may change and rule against guns. who knows. i do know there is an army of folks out there who will not be giving up their guns. at least not their loaded ones...

Adjam5 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 "The Constitution shall never be construedto prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens fromkeeping their own arms." - Samuel Adams I guess our representitives didnt pay attention to this one huh? A free man shall never be debarred the use of arms -Patrick Henry My Gov't should not ever worry about me. I need to worry about my Gov't and where they are going with our country. The 2nd amendmant makes me feel more free than any of the others. It has nothing to do with hunting and is all about keeping a Gov't honest.

dbHunterNY Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 yea folks in here have a pretty good idea of what it means... and we aren't alone. what people still haven't understood is why what happend in NY is bad. the outcome isn't nearly as bad as what happened to pass the bill. the gun control bill that was dozens of pages long and not all that clear was literally in front of our representatives for minutes, not even hours. details about it were kept in secret until only then. appropriate review or comment from the public or our representatives wasn't even feasible or in most cases possible at all.
