If we examine the Second Amendment in the light of changed times and modern reality, we can see it from a new perspective.
Today the National Guard is considered our militia. They practice a few weekends or a couple of weeks a year. They use rifles, not handguns. When they come home from duty, they leave their rifles in the barracks. They don't bring them home.
In the event of a military coup in our country, the idea that men with handguns could protect us from the military might of the Pentagon is laughable. The Second Amendment is obsolete, and needs to be rescinded. |

It is obsolete ...until it is needed.
Has no one heard of asymetric warfare?
If our military is so great, why is Afghanistan still a mess? Why are Syria and Libya both terrorist hell-holes?
Oh...and yes, if our military was issued unconstitutional orders, they'd immediately jump to it, 'cause, you know, after 8 years of Obama, they all genufleck at the feet of their D. C. Masters.
Since none of them ever ever taken an oath to defend the U. S. Constitution against "all enemies, foreign and domestic."
Hey...maybe after Obama, they will. Who knows.

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
