However, I am in the minority, otherwise someone like Obama would never been allowed to run for office let alone be our President and most of Congress and the House of Representatives would be on trial for Treason and other High Crimes.

Not true...
The SCOTUS decided in 2010 that putting restrictions upon Article 2, and putting conditions on what people can buy does NOT violate the spirit or the Constitutionality of the Second Amendment. Sorry.... They said if the government wants to say no more town killing guns capable of mowing down a city block in 5 seconds, then they can, as long as they don't take away the right to at least have a handgun..
Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited.
It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose:
For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. Pp. 54–56.

Ok, you made absolutely no sense. If they qualified with their duty weapon...trusted to uphold the law...trusted to protect the public... ????
Forgot to add the qualifying scores (since I went through it myself):
1 - 18/18
2 - 22/24
2 - 26/28
100% accountability. Which means you must hit the target. If one round is not on target you fail.

The forefathers didn't give you the right to assault rifles.
GOD did. The right to self-defense is GOD-Given. It is GOVERNMENTS that try to take away these rights.

Why do people need military style rifles in the first place?
Why do they need high capacity ammo clips?
Why are they so afraid of having "real" background checks to purchase a gun?

Talk to me when you have had to face down a group of coyote/timberwolf hybrids that are attacking your lifestock or kids, and tell me again assault rifles have no use other than hunting humans, and that high capacity mags are not needed.
Not to mention bears. And those bobcats, they are frikken fast.edit on Fri, 18 Jan 2013 16:36:59 -0600 by TKDRL because: (no reason given)
