To believe the government couldn't take away your rights by using armed forces because you have handguns is ridiculous, get back to me when you have missiles, attack helicopters, tanks, land mines and bombers, then you'd have an argument about that it's for protection against the government, until then the idiocy about how handguns prevents the government from terrorizing the population is just a load of bollocks. When the second amendment was written those handguns were effective weapons, today they are not.

You can use other arguments and not be as daft as Ted and throw in the second amendment as justification for personal defense (which makes absolutely no sense at all) and i might even agree with it.

So what you are saying is that the government needs to allow commercial sales of tanks, land mines, and railguns. I like where your head's at :thumbsup:

If the second amendment is going to be worth the paper it was originally written on and carry on it's meaning then yes, that would be required.

The original intention was to preserve the peoples ability to beat down an oppressive government and the forces it commandeered, at the time, enough people with handguns would easily do that, today a civilian militia against US armed forces would mean a lot of dead civilians and all it would take would be bombing the crap out of the camp these civilians resided in.

I'm British though, so maybe it's because i'm an outsider i can see how ridiculous the notion of untrained people with handguns could stand up to a well trained military force (Air Force, Navy, Army).

If the only people standing up to the military/govt were untrained and only had handguns, I'd see your point.

But that most likely wouldn't be the reality. And it actually helps that the masses would't be in a massive organized force. It sure is hard for any military, no matter how good it is, to take on millions of armed "insurgents" scattered around a massive country.

But hey, thats just my opinion.

You are faster than lightning with your replies though. :D

Female country music trio, lead singer made a comment to the effect that she was ashamed that Bush was from Texas. Foxnews leads assault on band, telling them to shut up and sing and not to try to be political backlash/onslaught/boycott/ridiculousness.

That's the issue. People Like Hilary don't want limits, they want to take it all away. Once the people are defenseless, they/ the government has no reason to stop taking away our other rights.

What do you think the insurgents in Iraq have? Think they have an armored brigade with mechanized troops or something? Rifles, pistols, and home made IEDs are enough to thwart our militarys ability occupy.

It's not about hand guns. It's about our rights to own guns. period. But as I see you are from The UK, you wouldn't understand. You gave up your rights long ago. Continuing eating your crumpets and spotted dick.

Guns in the hands of people will force the govts hands everytime. The US military is certainly happy to try and bomb out its own civilian population. The result will still be the same. That military and the govt around it will crumble as the costs of the killing its own armed citizens will be too high.

Now in a country like Britain the military and govt will have no problem controlling its population through the use of force because the costs will be very very low.

You're really daft, aren't you? My argument was regarding the second amendment and it's use in todays world, not against the right of owning handguns.

Sure i gave up my righs ago, wth do you think i'm doing in Kabul?

Yeah, so you think that plinking your little itty bitty handgun against missiles, tanks and attack choppers would be productive?

You are free to live in your own delusions my friend, but the wake up call might be harsh if you should one day wipe the smudge from your eyes and realize that you owning a gun doesn't make you any more of a threat to your government than you owning a dog without teeth.

Elections and people following their own ideas of right and wrong instead of being sheep following the party lines IS a threat to the government, a bigger threat than any handgun will ever be, it's the ONLY threat that will keep the government serving you instead of the opposite.

This is also known as democracy.

Well, drugs can be and are detrimental to a well functioning society, outlawing them doesn't work though so i'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place on a good solution for it.

This may have something to do with me having to pay for their care when they inevitably wind up in a hospital or put someone else in a hospital.

You are failing to grasp the idea that the citizens of this country fighting its govt is not an impossibility. It isnt about winning each battle. It is about winning the war. When the govt's cost of killing its own people is too high, the govt can not oppress its people. In a country of 200 million gun owners. What happens when a military of 1.5 million tries to oppress them? They wont have enough bullets nor guns, nor manpower to do such a thing.

Democracy is maintained by an armed citizen. Without armed citizens, dictators rise and oppression occurs.

Of course the history of Iraq puts the lie to this claim. Iraq, under Saddam, had one of the most heavily armed civilian populations on earth. Yet they lived under a despot.

Ted Nugent needs to tour with the Dixie Chicks. It would be better than Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias. They could work out their harmonies and take turns pitching their politics between sets.

The "they got tanks and missiles!" is the most ignorant, cowardly argument of all against gun rights. First, it's irrelevant. The right to gun ownership doesn't have to have its existence defended anymore than the right to free speech. It is an inherent right Second, your position is essentially that we should kow-tow to all government power without a fight. And lastly, it's undemocratic. The odds are 300-to-1 in the people's favor, smart guy, and we're the ones who make their tanks and missiles, feed them, clothe them, and pay them. That's our government and our army. They don't even exist without the people.

Look son, if the governments arse was on the line the government would have done what Saddam did and that would quickly end the uprising.

It's either that or the forces will turn against the government, in either case, civilians owning hand guns isn't going to matter what so ever.

Which democracy is the oldest and does it's citizens have the right to bear arms?

I truly believe that if the second amendment would be updated to include the weapons available today compared to the weapons that were available back then your right to bear arms would include missiles, land mines, tanks, attack helicopters, bombers and maybe even nukes.

I don't think you are unaware of that, i think you just like to pretend that it's not true so you can maintain your idealistic viewpoint and spout mouthpieces like "Democracy is maintained by an armed citizen".

Let's get back on track though, concealed permit and the second amendment?
