Actually, it had nothing to do with wilderness living, hunting, or fighting off wild savages, etc. The 2nd Amendment was written specifically to address the greatest threat of all, tyranny. - “Fear the government that fears your guns.”

We have a winner here! You are absolutely correct. Our Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting and target shooting. It's #1 reason is our right to protect ourself from a tyrannical government. IE: Read the Declaration of Independence.

When can I start the lawsuits against the Massholes in charge of this awful state??? 10# triggers, gun locks, no Taurus, No Colts, $100 F.I.D. cards , $100 dollar licenses to carry... Get the lawyers ready!!!!!!

Have you read the briefs and the transcript/heard the audio from yesterday? Surprisingly, it seems that your argument is what DC is saying...and then arguing that the Second Amendment isn't protective of handguns since individuals can use rifles or shotguns to be part of the citizen militia.

It's an interesting twist to the gun-grabbers' argument...and something we have to be sure to note in the fight, as they can use words against us if we don't take the next step and explain why that argument falls apart.
