"I came across an online discussion this morning about whether federal authorities have violated the Second Amendment rights of three men in North Carolina who have been arrested on weapons charges."
"These guys ... had stockpiled weapons, ammunition and tactical gear while attempting to rig home-made explosives. They were arrested ... after a month-long federal investigation."
"More than a few of the participants in the discussion I read argued that the government has no business interfering with the stockpiling of weapons, ammo and explosives. It was asserted that citizens have their Second Amendment rights to amass any kind of arsenal they might want."

I call BS.
Tenche Cox said, "Congress have no power to disarm the militia.

| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
