    | I served 20 years in the U.S. Navy protecting your right to "bare arms," or was it to "arm bears."
 
 We keep getting it pounded down our throats that everyone should be armed because the bad guys are armed.
 
 In reality, every armed individual is someone just waiting to become a criminal.
 
 If you believe so strongly in the Second Amendment, then you should arm yourself with a musket and a flintlock pistol, because that is what the founders had in mind when they established the Constitution.

    | Why is it, that people who know so little about our  Republic keep spouting jibberish about the 2A? They think our founding fathers were idiots. They used the term ARMS to denote any and all weapons at the time and in the future to be protected under 2A. All weapons in use for the milita, which is the whole of America , to be protected under 2A. ALL weapons for the use of the milita!!!

                      | For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |  |  |
