the idea behind the second amendment is to give "THE PEOPLE" the power to be able to keep the govt from becoming oppressive an overbearing--- the second amendment gives "THE PEOPLE" the right to by any weapon they choose m1 tank anyone or how about an f-15 or b1 bomber sound like a joke but that is why the second amendment is there

Like the second amendment states, it's not only American citizens right but, their duty to arm themselves against threats. External as well as internal. If you are called on to serve in that well-armed militia, contributions of arms and ammo are helpful.

Why does anyone need Porsche to go to Circle K for a gallon of milk? We have certain inalienable rights in this country and for some reason there is a cross section of American's who don;t like it.

I know a lot of people who own AR's and AK's and various other weaponry, and I'd trust them before the cops any day. It's unfortunate that more people don't understand that the purpose (well, one of them) of the second amendment is to allow citizens to protect themselves from government force foreign and domestic.

took me awhile to find this but i posted this a long time ago in another gun thread still says it the best i think Mon 05/04/09 04:45 PM http://mingle2.com/topic/show/221917?page=2 ------------------------------------------------------------- IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. 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. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

Where's the definition of a "well regulated militia"? national guard That isn't possible since the "National Guard" didn't exist when the Constitution was written. The Supreme Court has already ruled that the "right to bear arms" specifically refers to the citizens of the US.

That is why they government is as powerful as it is, no militia could stand up to the weapons it possesses.
