Marlin Reinhart had an opinion piece in The Morning Call the other day claiming that the Second Amendment no longer served a national purpose because the original state militias were transformed into the National Guard. But I noticed the one thing he forgot is that the state militias’ original purpose was in case our own government became too corrupt, the state militias of armed citizens were supposed to be a line of protection from the government-controlled military. |

"Unfortunately these days, thanks to the massively weakened Second Amendment, our state militias no longer have enough firepower to stand against our military if our current corrupt government* were to wrongfully declare martial law."
*But they do have enough firepower to go after them and their families.
Keeping them aware of that is in our best interest. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "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") |
