how does requiring gun makers to have licences and to put a serial number on the guns they make, infringe on the second amendment? if this was not done, you could have anyone with a little money, manufacture and distribute guns. maybe if black, mexican, chinese, or muslim gangs were in montana manufacturing guns, with no oversight, people might think differently.

IX Amendment:
“ The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. ”
X Amendment:
“ The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. ”
It clear that our government is overstepping its bounds with the many laws they are using to try to prove that they have more power than the states. Fact is only under international commerce do they have power over the states! Interstate Commerce was rammed down our throats in the 20's and there is a large contingent of people who want this clause rescinded. It is the back door to the governments power grab amongst the states!

If it was meerly about personal liberties and states rights there would not be a war. Any true conflict arises from a desire for loot and control of cheap labor also known as loot. Until that enters the picture there is no civil war. Civil unrest will come from the hungry, social outcasts. ( no propaganda machinery )
In the case of the USA vs the rest of the world, we just don't have enough cheap labor to go around. As a group, we the citizens will not band together en masse to deny the feds their loot. errr taxes, fees, and licenses ...you know ...loot. The history of conflicts around the globe have the same root every time. We are taught that we are fighting for freedom, against oppression, saving the world, whatever. Our federal governing body....btw, bought and paid for, and controlled through an intensive lobbying campaign by the corporations....are puppets. They bring us to war to ensure profits, to loot other countrys, securing corporate contracts, ensuring cheap labor for said corporations. The scary part is when or where will these guys decide they have a way to profit from creating civil war on us?
Unless you are severely oppressed, hungry, poor, destitute, denied access to the machine at every turn you will not cause any amount of unrest. Ask our brothers and sisters in the ghettos. Do they cross the police because they want to be criminals? Does that mean its everyone in that situation? No, some have turned it to a way of life, motivated by yes, profit, food.
Summarily, our country has a long way to go before we as a population are oppressed enough to say no more and fight to the death for it. Find the profit and you'll find the motivation.
Flame on baby... truth sucks, ascribing social ideals to conflict....happens in barfights, not war of any kind

Is it really gone so far that the only way to get rid of the facist elements is another war? It seems like that every day more and more but is there anything that can be done other than war?

"SACK THE INCUMBENT" The Tea Parties are promoting this strategy! Encourage everyone around you to vote for a complete rookie or unknown! At the very least, do not vote for the status quo! If this doesn't work, violence will have to be the next step!
GRRRR Thats how we got to this in the first place! Every president that was elected in the past 25 years has been so because they were "ANTI STATUS QUO". Then they turn around and clink there expensive wine classes the elite after they are elected
