Another supposed expert in Constitutional law, please provide some details on your background as a US Supreme Court justice and legal scholar.
That makes at least two US Supreme Court justices so so far, who knew that CD forums had such an esteemed membership.
If you rely on others to tell you (or if you will: "analyze" "interpret") the law for you and what rights you have or do not have, you don't have any rights.
Some people are cheer their own imprisonment because that's all they've ever known and anything else seems scary.
If you think for one minute that anyone in the US military, especially those who pilot the Stealth bomber would carpet bomb American citizens on US soil you're out of your mind. As a veteran I know for a fact that there aren't many members of the US military who want any part of a war against their own people, many wouldn't be fighting on the side of any tyrannical government.
So you go ahead, you keep up the bigoted comments and you keep insinuating that 50 - 60 million gun owners in the US are nothing more than a bunch of hicks that shouldn't be feared. The people who actually make decisions that really matter know better than to make that mistake.
So if the point of the second amendment is to protect the american citizen from the government and you're not afraid of the military that has an extreme advantage then why are you scared? Do you think Harvard educated politicians are going to take over with their expert marksmanship?

Because a heavily armed population is more likely to rebel if infringed upon. You can't have a revolution without guns, and the first step to foment any revolution is to bring lots and lots of guns into the region.
So the government knows that and is likely and less likely to blatantly infringe upon the rights of her citizens. The second amendment is there to keep the government honest. If the population was disarmed, all our civil liberties would begin to corrode at a much greater speed than they're right now.

Who said anything about not being afraid? Only a moron would not be scared of having to fight for his life. Sometimes people have to do things that are scary, that's how life works.
Another gun nut fantasizing about shooting federal agents trying to seize our guns. These threads never get old.
Nobody is fantasizing about anything and nobody in here is a gun nut so you can put that BS aside, you can use childish attempts at shaming people all you like but they don't work.
If you don't hold the US Constitution and our rights which it protects to be valuable then just step aside and let people who do hold them to be valuable stand up for you.
We've done it before, we'll do it again. You're welcome.
"It was written so we could shoot at the gov if it was ever taken over by tyrants"
Preach it Judge Napolitano via Twitter
200+ years ago having a gun in your house may have been a threat to the government and helped to keep it in line. Your guns are not even a concern to the government. All they do is pose a threat to society if you do not secure them properly. That is assuming you are a responsible gun owner which I'm sure you are.
But please you gun lovers, please stop with the guns stop the threat of government tyranny because that is a myth. They are not the least, tiny bit concerned about your guns and the cops really are not that worried either. If you get out of line with your guns they have people to deal with you very efficiently.
LOL, like the type of people that own guns in the United States are similar to the hardened Mujahideen fighters utilizing their superior local knowledge and contacts. After just one night spent under seige in a cave most gun owners in the United States would be crying for their mommies.
These 300 lb weekend warriors waddling around with their assault rifles and eye and ear protection would last one day. They they would trade their AR 15 for a bag of cheeseburgers.
You don't understand humans very well. Depending on the reason for the conflict, many from the military would join the citizens.
And citizens have done quite well in Afghanistan and even defeated the two most powerful armies in the world there.
An internal fight wouldn't follow the rule book. Desperate people do desperate things.
So you're saying our military is infiltrated with potential traitors? May, I thought you righties loved the military. I guess it's just their guns you love.
