I think liberals assume that they will always be the ones in power. What a foolish lot they are. Thank God so many Americans cherish our Second Amendment rights.

AMEN, BROTHER! Gun owners in this country will never turn over their weapons! Thank God for the NRA that has done such a good job of educating and defending our rights.

Thank you for saving it. I have tried to share my experiences in debunking the arguments of those who seek to destroy the achievements of many generations of Western struggle.

Actually the issue is phrased wrongly. It isn't the Second Amendment that gives you the right to revolt against the government. I present a Just War Doctrine analysis of the right of revolution in my book RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY. In short, if the government turns tyrannical, you have the right to revolt. What the Second Amendment does is guarantee you the right to have the means to revolt.

When they’re frantically shooting everything they have at you, including the family dog, you’re directly over the target.

You’re in England?
(Gray is the American spelling; grey is the English spelling... though technically both spellings have been around for hundreds of years.)

what part of **ultimate** check does the author not get?

The truth is that faced with hard core tyranny the author would welcome the 2nd Amendment..

“You’re in England?”

No, I was born and raised in the good ol’ U. S. of A. ;-)

The schools I attended as a child taught that “g - r - e - y” was the correct spelling of the color and that “g - r - a - y” was colloquial and used only by the uneducated.

Another partisan media shill weighs in with a weight of zero.

Speaking of Zero, he believes the 2nd Amendment should only be "granted" to terrorist states such as Iran, or the jokers who overthrew Libya -- and Hillary believes the same thing. So does Lurch, Plugs, and the rest of that pack of rats.

"Arms" are not even a specific term -- could be a pitchfork, a rock, pistol, rifle, uh, you name it. Molon Labe.

The founding documents of this nation define “We The People” as the government of our land. When a dictatorial wannabe president like the current one, or the a dictatorial wannabe party such as The Democrat Organized Crime Antichrist Party of America seek to overthrow “We The People,” then “We The People” must do what needs to be done. If that requires taking up arms as we did in the American Revolution, or in the Civil War; that’s what we must do.
