You should check their website. Not only are they lefties, but almost ALL of their "scholars" are Arabs.
Say a lot, don't it?

The framers of the Constitution saw the right to bear and use arms as a check against an unruly government. That state of affairs no longer exists.Says who?

It's unlikely terrorists would use guns for terrorism. Way too ineffective. Sorry, but you're wrong. Look at how much panic two individuals, John Muhammed and Lee Malvo, were able cause with one semi-automatic rifle. Now imagine what 10, 50, or 100 armed terrorists with plenty of ammo could do before the police got to them. If each picked off ten innocent citizens (which is not unreasonable if they hit several shopping malls on a given weekend), we'd have a mini-9/11 on our hands. I'm not supporting the author's "let's get rid of the 2nd Amendment" point of view, although I do give him credit for being honest about what the 2nd Amendment actually means (unlike most Liberals who engage in sophistry, and claim that the 2nd Amendment is "about the National Guard"). I'm just saying: let's not kid ourselves into believing that firearms in the hands of terrorists pose less of a threat than, say, a terrorist hitting pedestrians with a SUV (although a SUV in a major city could rack up a good body count as well).

This article is as disgusting as the Brady Capaign drop squads. Teams of people who seek out family of shooting victims to recruit them for camera face time to promote their anti second amendment agenda.
Perhaps these naive gun grabbers should be dropped in downtown beruit to promote their anti gun ownership naiveness.
The only rethinking which should be done is in the direction of having MORE law abiding citizens have personal arms.

the people at the Alamo to rise up against their government armed as they were with just their handguns, rifles, and Bowie knives They had a few cannon as well. Just not as big or with as much range as those Santa Ana had.

Safer, indeed. Canada, Britain, and even our friends in Australia have for all intents and purposes banned guns. Check their statistics on violent crime since the ban. Off the charts, and the people are beginning to ask questions, demand answers.

I haven't heard of the Draka books before, but I'll definitely check them out now! Steve Stirling, should be easy to google.
I love "alternative history" novels. My dream novel would be the Viking conquest of North America. If the early Vikings had had the luck of Cortez, and landed among tribes eager for allies in a fight against oppressor tribes, they might have made it. Imagine iron making, the wheel, and horses being introduced by Vikings in AD 1000!

Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd. The Branch Davidian tragedy at Waco, Texas, was one such futile attempt. I'm at a loss for words.

Didn't you hear? The Davidians rose up and stormed Washington, DC, trying to kill government agents, but fortunately, the US military was able to stop them. It isn't true at all that the government went to Waco, Texas, to kill women and children where they slept.

The Patriot Act, Anti-Trust legislation, Campaign Finance Reform (Social Security and Medicare Acts for that matter); every special interest has some part of the Constitution that they want to skirt.
