To tell you the truth, I'm only good with the Bill of Rights. The rest of the Constitution is garbage to be, but it can be fixed via due process of law. The Constitution illegally replaced the Articles of Confederation (which simply needed tweeking), and it was forced upon dissenting states under the threat of civil war. If it weren't for the Anti-Federalists sitting in on the convention, we wouldn't even have a Bill of Rights in our Constitution.
So all we have between us and total tyranny is the Bill of Rights. We should hold on to it for as long as possible.
No according to your posts, the only thing we have between tryanny and us, is the the 2nd. While I have no problem with the second, I have a serious problem with folks that use the 2nd as an enhancement to their manhood. I live in an open carry state, and after 40 years of martial arts experience, think nothing about seeing someone open carry. I have had a gun pulled on me once, and he went to the hospital with serious facial injuries.
What the hell are you talking about? This isn't a pissing contest. If you disarm a nation, you take away its ability to protect its rights.
I'm glad you know martial arts. I do too. Your cookie is in the mail.
Get a grip.

We can all agree there is an important place for the Second Amendment. It will not be going away and that's for sure!

I think we all support the second amendment. We just differ as to how it should be interpreted and how it should be applied!

No one is talking about disarming a nation, that is only your/the NRA's take on it. You talking the Constitution, and then telling us it was illegal, I am asking questions, and pointing fingers.

I guess I'll take that as a compliment, but I'm really not a bad guy. I just feel very strongly about my rights. I've studied cyclical historical patterns from the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I to the American Revolution. Tyranny is all about disarmament, controlling education, and marginalizing dissenters. If we lose the Bill of Rights, we go into tyranny. If we lose the 2nd Amendment, we lose our ability to protect our rights.

Well you're asking the wrong questions and pointing in the wrong direction. On top of that, you're making assumptions about my ego.

And please define for me, that forgotten passage in that amendment, a "well regulated militia"
