Put it in context. When the second amendment was adopted the state of the art weapon was the musket. The government had the same weaponry. It was adopted not to hunt, not to target shoot, it was adopted for personal defense. The second amendment was written to protect people from a tyrannical government—One that they just defeated and an unknown number to follow. It is a right to bear arms. I go to bed every night thinking that this country is probably the safest on earth because nobody is stupid enough to invade us. Too many weapons in the hands of citizens.

Keep in mind Tim that there are levels of Tyranny,
the thug who wants your wallet is no different than
the politician who wants to take your freedom.
The gun is insurance against them both.
Try and take them from me, but be prepared to DIE.

They don't need to invade us. All they needed to do was get a reality style TV show host elected POTUS.

Obama will continue to disassemble the country $1 Trillion each step, destroy our ability to field a military, continue to send our wealth overseas as we buy oil, enable queers to molest our children, enable racial minorities to take our wealth.....

Are you at least starting to understand who the enemy is?
