Zennie 0 #26 July 14, 2004 QuoteSo, here is the second question, how many of you gun afficionados will take your guns and try and oust the rogue government you would be saddled with? If the govenment went truly rogue? One thing's for sure, I wouldn't just grab my gun and go waltzing into Washington. I'd do what most of the true "gun nuts" (who, given this prospect, don't seem quite as nutty as they did before) have already done... go into the hills and organize. My guess is it wouldn't come to that though. The Eastern Bloc fell without a shot being fired. If the Administration tried a power grab, I think you'd have demonstrations that would ultimately force them to relent. - Z "Always be yourself... unless you suck." - Joss Whedon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that does seem to be one of the major thoughts behind that amendmend to your constitution. Off course, you immediately have to follow it with some silly rant about gun owners and violence. Must have been tough for you to read about that new medical condition when you have to sit on the book to read it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Kennedy 0 #30 July 14, 2004 QuoteQuoteRight, I'm sure it would come to mililtia marching on Washington with no pause for thought or non-violent methods.

However, what on this green earth makes you think that anyone thinks that should be the first answer to bad government? I'm asking you why you think an huge portion of our population is hungry for violence? Otherwise why would the first answer to a problem be marching on the capital and opening fire? Let me spell it out for you. The amendment exists to ensure a last chance in the worst case scenario. It does not exist to encourage violence. I doubt any of the framers would've thought it was a good idea to revolt at every problem, to wage war at every disagreement.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites quade 4 #31 July 14, 2004 QuoteThe amendment exists to ensure a last chance in the worst case scenario.
