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 The Second Amendment is obsolete, and needs to be rescinded.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It is obsolete ...until it is needed.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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
