I have eight M-60 machine guns, a dozen AK-47s, an more pistols than I can count. Plenty of ammo for everything. I'm stilling hoping to buy a howitzer to place in my garage. I want to be ready when the liberal, commie government (or the anti-christ) comes to get me.
Not really. I think the core purpose of the Second Amendment is completely useless today.
Back in the day when muskets and a cannon or two was all anyone had, the Second Amendment did provide a real counterbalance to potential government misuse of force. Today, modern governments have large professional military forces with advanced firearms, riot gear, tanks, helicopters, jets, chemical weapons, laser-guided missiles and nukes. The days when you could win a fight against them with a ragtag militia outfitted with a few semiautomatic (or even illegally tricked-out automatic) weapons are long gone. That said, it MAY help you in self defense against the occasional run-in with a criminal. I'm all for letting lawful people maintain their guns in a legal way, but let's not kid ourselves and pretend that your shotgun is a meaningful deterrent to government tyranny, because it just isn't. A lot has changed technologically since the 1770s.

Maybe you should become a moderator and really tighten up this ship.
Maybe it's time to retire the CD forums.
