BS
My blood is boiling and the bubbles are bursting every passing minute.
The US Constitution doesn't read "bear some arms"
It doesn't read "bear sanctioned or approved arms"
It doesn't read "bear legal arms"
It doesn't read "bear only non-armor piercing arms"
It doesn't read "bear only rainbow colored arms with numbered ammo"
and it certainly doesn't read "bear arms unless you live in California"
IT READS:
THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
Fricken period.
That includes ANY AND ALL arms.
Fricken period.
If the second amendment wasn't clear enough, there was the ninth:
"The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Do you expect a well regulated militia to be armed with rainbow colored bb guns loaded with registered and serial numbered bb's?

Dude, I sure as a heck hope it wouldn't ever actually come down to that. I would at least hope that many parts of your military would side with the people and drive the rogue government into the ocean, especially the Marine Corps. The best thing militia groups can pratice and teach are time tested guerilla tactics if such an event ever took place.
Bro' "bear" (i.e. carry) arms"bare" is (to show) I Respect your posts otherwise.

I hang my head in shame, knowing that you and others like you are out there.
The right to 'bare arms' is just that. There was no restrictions set forth and the constitution is not set as what the citizen can do, but what the limit the Govt can do.
Just because you and others like you have a misguided idea that you can restrict US citizens, does not mean you are correct.

and the founding fathers could never have imagined tactical nukes, f-22's or drones armed with hellfire missiles. Even with fully automatic machine guns with armor piercing rounds, you're toast if the US military has you in it's sights. which is also true in many, many countries around the world of course.
so if that's the case, lets make the streets a wee bit safer since the only way to stand up to a modern military is through facebook
