The message of the Second Amendment is that ultimately it is not the Second Amendment or any other amendment that will protect the people's rights, but guns. The reason courts and legislatures hate the Second Amendment is that the Second Amendment permanently reminds them that--under the right circumstances--the people have the right to shoot to kill judges, legislators, and executives, and the soldiers and police who obey them.

It is inevitable that the day will come when the government is reminded first hand of the true reason for the second amendment and it may not be a huge event (like attempting to steal a presidential election) that will be the trigger.

Today's news has a story of a couple brothers in CA who wanted to get a permit to repair their house. They were told that their house had been designated an historical landmark and they would have to jump through some very expensive hoops to get the permits to do the repairs (repairs mind you, not remodeling). I was thinking some little local yokel with way too much self importance & power will probably be the cause of the straw that breaks the camel's back. It will start small and grow.

Believe me I don't want to see it happen but as long as government refuses to reform itself and as long as sheeple are blind to the downward spiral this country is in, there will come a day when somebody is going to say enough is enough. (Note: Tim McVeigh was a coward who took out his anger on innocents which only made matters worse.)

There's an old saying I can't quite remember but it goes something like "first the ballot box, then the soap box, then the ammo box."
