The Second Amendment is a issue today only because of the reality behind it. It’s force. Pure, naked, and unadulterated power. Simple put, you’re either a sheep, or a sheep dog. Take care of you and yours. Don’t depend upon the gubamint (e.g., Waco, NOLA, and all the social programs that enslave us).
Politicians who fear the people seek to disarm them. People who fear their government’s intentions refuse to be disarmed. The Founders understood this. So, too, does every tyrant who ever lived. The dead old white guys made it number two for a reason. It backs up number one!
Forget it at your peril.
American gun owners in the aggregate represent a strategic military fact and an impediment to tyranny. They represent a political challenge to home-grown would-be tyrants. You don’t make lamb chops out of sheep dogs. Oppress an armed citizenry? Ask those Russians who came home from Afghanistan or Chechnya. Ask the families of all those Russians who didn’t come home.
If the people cannot be forcibly disarmed against their will, then they must be persuaded or tricked to give up their arms voluntarily. This is the siren song of “gun control”, which is to say “government control of all guns”, it’s victim disarmament.
Ask the Warsaw Ghetto Jews what you should do? Look at what they did with less than a few dozen weapons. Ask the families of those who were gassed.
Genocide requires the government to disarm it’s citizens.
