Ranting for the Second Amendment

By BetaWolfinVA

After the theater shooting and before the school shootings I was in a forum on another site. One liberal (odd that those supposedly for freedom are against the means to defend it.-note I am a techno liberal... and believe in poly... so I am not a religious conservative by any means) woman started off with not needing a semi-automatic weapon to kill bambi. (I did have to tell her about the semi-automatic being one bullet per trigger pull thing)

I told her flat out that the second amendment was intended to cull vermin that infest governments wanting to infringe on our freedoms.

She had a novel response...

"That's absurd, if that's the reason, then that's stupid because you cannot fight drones and tanks" (we had already gone over the sword, musket, pike thing)

(Being that my home town is the U.S.. Army and I work for the Marine Corps (CONUS office rat... no where near the sharp end and I never had the honor of serving my self... but I serve those who serve...) and recovering from a 20 year addiction to a military sci-fi game that got into the weeds.)

I know that that is no where close to the truth.

Tanks are dead in close quarters if they are unsupported by infantry...
And tanks are only useful if they are occupied.
Drones are fragile... that is why they are unmanned.

Defend the schools, defend the theaters... metal detectors and armed security...

But the blood of the future will be on our hands if we go as far as the gun control nuts are wanting to go.

Background checks, bio-locked weapons etc, all of this is sane.

But the guns r bad crowd needs to think things through...

Every political horror story that I have ever read starts "first they came for the guns, then they came for the ..., then they came for me"

Imo? Gun control is that which is taught on the firing range.

note.. I don't own a gun... and probably couldn't buy one legally. but I see no reason to try until and unless they start burning polygamists and heretics...

I get so fed-up with people that keep shouting to get rid of guns it isn't the gun that kills it is the person welding the damn weapon. I say to put all the criminals on an island far from civilization and let them go at each other. :) great write!

Seriously though, I know you army guys will know best of all why untrained, and potentially unstable, citizens should not have lead-leaf blowers. People who have seen the damage these things can do to living meat. We here in SA last year had a massive program to eliminate superfluous weaponry, and assault rifles have always been illegal. That being said we have one of the highest rates of handgun deaths in Africa... And that is something. So a pox to the seventieth generation 'pon the ass that thought of projectile weapons... never been fair.

Heard about those 30 miners who were shot protesting working conditions recently, nasty business that.

Good for you and a hearty YES, guns are for tyrants and not deer, and the goofballs who go psycho are the problem - so how to read the intent of the human mind? You might like to read "The Assassin's Prayer" that I wrote and re-posted about a year ago. And tell the libs to quit grabbing our guns with their simplistic logic that solves nothing, but only promotes a tyrannical agenda.

Funny thing is that the liberals grabbing the guns will be immediately followed by the conservatives grabbing the freedoms.

Everybody is grabbing for a handhold, on anything nowadays, and true enough said, the pendulum swings both ways!
