When freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril, it's always the patriots who first hear the call. Obama says we can't deport 20 million illegals because the logistics would make it impossible, but he thinks the logistics of confiscating the guns from a 100 million gun owners is doable. This country would look Fallujah in a matter of days.

We are a nation of inalienable rights.
Among them set forth in the Bill of Rights, and other constitutional amendments like the 14th.

They ALL mean the same thing as 'shall not be infringed'.
KNOW your rights.
Cause gun nazis sure don't.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

Well the Declaration of Independence did give us a hall pass.

In the case of a full on war, the government has tanks, emp, drones, heck they just need to cut light and water to a city for a week to bring it on it's knees.

Yamamoto understood...."Behind Every Blade Of Grass"
this quote is unsubstantiated and almost certainly bogus, even though it has been repeated thousands of times in various Internet postings. There is no record of the commander in chief of Japan’s wartime fleet ever saying it.
