Of course you know I love this kind of stuff and love that my country has these capabilities, but I can't help thinking in the back of my mind, the gubmint will be hunting me some day with night vision, aerial drones, GPS, thermal sights that see through walls, and now bullets that can't miss, .50 caliber no less.( ouch!) The Second Amendment is great except your dead about 32 seconds after the war starts by someone that pushed a button 3000 miles away. Now they can microwave you if you just want to protest in the street so you may as well stay home.

You echo my thoughts.

I feel citizens should be given more than a fighting chance against their own military. That was the purpose of the Second Amendment, and it worked pretty well up until about the 1940's when tanks and air platforms were perfected. Still, even then, rifles and pistols were no joke.

However: How do you balance the need for citizens to have access to the full array of military hardware (the purpose of the Second Amendment), against the need to prevent a crazed citizen (or a Muslim -- same thing, really) from using said military hardware to effect great damage in the name of either Allah or the Little Green Leprechauns That Haunt Me In My Dreams And Live In My Closets (same thing, really)?

Your comments bring to mind the importance of Oath Keepers and the 2nd Amendment. There will only be a small number of people who can issue the ‘Kill’ command. Us, the people and our 2nd Amendment will always keep these people walking on their tip toes wondering if their last command wasn’t suicidal.
