I Never said that the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution were godly documents. The implication is that our founding Fathers were astute enough to mention it, along with other rights. These are the rights of every human on the planet. Not the sole property of the USA. They are Thusly God given rights.
Sure, they were writen over 200 yrs ago, That does not make them any less valid today than upon the day they were writen.
If you wish to lay down your guns and rights to them, then by all means do so - and allow yourself to be enslaved.

I just wanted to mention Eastcoastkid, Ruby Ridge and Waco, was not taken care of by the U.S. military but by the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team. And in each of those situations they could have been fine but they brought it on themselves. At Ruby Ridge the suspects killed a U.S. Marshal which constitutes for the FBI to come in and take over. At Waco, ATF agents went legally to see if they indeed were modifying semi-auto weapons to be fully auto. The Branch Davidians killed, I believe a couple of ATF agents. Once again the death of federal officers constitutes for the FBI to come in and take over. Also there was holding of children against their will. The U.S. allows for the right to bear arms within the legal limit of the law. We did not burn down the Davidian compound and shoot them in the heads causing suicide. Everything that happened they brought upon themselves.

ECK,
I would be interested on your take on the legal aspects of the 2nd amendment and its use by TC as justification for civilian insurrection.
Cheers

ECK,
ThomasCrowne earlier in this thread stated,
"The Founding Fathers made it clear that the 2nd amendment was to protect the nation from tyrannical government.
That is to say, they expected each one of us to be armed with weapons that are sufficient to take back our government from tyrannical or arbitrary rule.
The problem isn't weapons ownership, but a citizenry that is unknowledgeable of the constitution, the words of the Founding Fathers, their God-given rights or their responsibilities as citizens."

Ok Eastcoastkid, I was under the impressin that it was the FBI HRT that took care of it, but I always get misinformation.

Since the 2nd Ammendment states "A Militia"
Could that imply that the (or a) milita is to be under the control of the populus rather than the Govt?
If Each state were required to pledge their citizens for a Draft (for lack of a better word) and "Loan" them to the Fed we would have a more controlable situation with the Govt than what we have today.
