We don’t need no steenking 2nd Amendment

Backwoods Home Magazine ^ | John Silveira

[Mr. Mojo]

Long, but good. ...Especially some of the quotes (in the 2nd half of the piece) by the Founding Fathers illustrating how strongly they believed that firearms ownership was a Natural, God-Given Right.

[Mr. Mojo]

BANG!

Great article, Mr. Mojo. This reminds me that my subscription to BWH has lapsed.

Bookmarked for later, thanks. Blackbird.

That guy Bill sounds familar. I think I've run into him many times. Libs have two reactions, they either crawl into a catatonic shell like Bill where they can't hear or see anything or lash out with a stream of hateful profanity.

“The 2nd Amendment isn’t about you guys owning guns,” Bill said. “It’s about the state having guns. It says you’re only allowed guns if you’re part of the militia and I don’t see any of you guys with uniforms. The 2nd Amendment is about the National Guard.”

Behold the Idiocy of the Gun-Grabbing Chimp.

Let me see if I understand you here:

1.	"the people" in the First Amendment means *the people*;
2.	"the people" in the Fourth Amendment means *the people*;
3.	"the people" in the Ninth Amendment means, *the people*;
4.	...but "the people" in the Second Amendment (ratified in 1787)
	means the National Guard (which was created by an Act of Congress
	in *1917*).

God, you are one stupid f%$^ing chimp.

Nice artlicle, makes some good points.

One of the telling ones, IMO, is that America really is getting to a point where gun ownership, and the pleasure of it, is often looked on today as something a little odd, even unhealthy.

And the point that the Bill of Rights do not list all of our rights is important.

Cool magazine, BTW, hadn't heard of it before.

Excellent article.

However, the quote from Washington about 'liberty teeth' is bogus. The quote from Adams is severely mangled in a way that changes its meaning substantially.

After reading this, it is preposterous there is even and argument about the basic and natural right of protecting one's self.

Yet, that day has come.

An oldie but goodie. Every gun owner who cares about the RKBA should have these arguments memorized. There will be a test later.

[PatrioticAmerican]

Anyone who believes that no one "needs" a gun has never studied history, has never watched world politics of modern times, has never been the victim of a violent crime, doesn't know the facts about the level of violent crime in the US, believes their government would never assualt them, and is just plain ignorant of firearms to begin with.

Anyone who thinks the founding fathers made the 2nd for the states and not individuals never read the founding fathers' statements about that issue.

I think it is sad that these commies try to tell everyone what the founding fathers meant by the 2nd is that the states, and not individuals, have the right to be armed, while the founding fathers' very own statements were against an armed state and an armed individual citizens.

Why are these commies so hell bent on my being disarmed?

Excellent, excellent article. Thank you for posting it!
