They want their guns to be above all sane and rational controls because:
1 - It's a Constitutional "Right"
2 - The "gummit" will turn on its own people, so we better be ready to fight.
3 - When the (fill in the blank) invade, we will be the ones holding them
off.
4 - We want to be able to kill anyone at the drop of a hat and guns are the
best
tool for that job.
Here's the facts they don't seem to want to recognize:
1 - The second amendment does not guarante the right of an individual to own
guns. It allows individuals who are members of state organized militias to own
guns for defense of the state only. Get that? Not for personal defense, not
for home defense, but for state defense. Gunner whine and cry that "everyone
is the militia" but that pure BS. EVERYONE is not the militia. Only those few
who sign up to enroll are militia members. Everyone else is in the pool of
possible members. If you use gunner logic, we everyone in the world works for
Microsoft because Microsoft *might* call you up and tell you to come to Redmond
to sweep out Bill's Lexus. If you gunners were serious in any way about
exercising the "right" to keep and bear arms, you'd be in the national guard or
your organized and well-regulated state militia forces.
2 - Just what is it about gunners that makes them think they can hold off a
professional fighting force? The big argument is "the troops wont shoot fellow
Americans" but most of these gunners have declared that *they* will fire upon
their fellow Americans. Who looks more dangerous to Ma and Pa at home when
they tune to Dan Rather? It sure isnt the men and women in uniform.
3 - Again, if we are invaded, it will not be Bubba-Joe Redneck with his deer
rifle that holds back that armored column.
4 - The public is tired of gunners exercising their "right" in drive-by
shootings, schooyard masacres and post office firefights.
Your guns will be banned.
Your guns will be taken away.
Get used to it now.
Take up a new hobby, like bowling.

1. The 2nd Amendment says ".....the right of the people", just like the 1st
and 4th. Unless of course you knew that and think those only apply to
select groups, not to individuals also.
2. Holding off professional soldiers? Let see, does Vietnam or Afghanistan
ring any bells?
3. see above.
4. You are sadly mistaken if you think any of these things are rights.
(Boy do you have it all wrong.) No I don't believe in the right to shoot
other people as you imply. Of course when you don't have facts on your side
you resort to name calling and innuendoes to confuse the issues.

That doesn't seem to be anyone's argument except yours. The big
argument is, the troops won't know which Americans to shoot, because
they won't know which ones will have guns, and the ones with guns will
look, talk, and act just like the ones who don't.

Bill of Rights - The first ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution providing
for *individual* rights, freedoms and protections.
Black's Law, 6th Edition
Liberals wish to rid us of guns....conservatives wish to rid us of drugs...
Between the two, they are ridding us of our rights and freedom....
Sandman, (1997)
The biggest gap between liberals and conservatives is the blank space
between the First and Second Amendments to the US Constitution.
Paraphrased - "Ain't Nobody's Business if You Do" Peter McWilliams.
The right there specified is that of "bearing arms for a lawful purpose." This is
not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it dependent in any manner on
that instrument for its existence."

Ask the Army about dealing with an urban insurrection. They don't like the

trained by, veterans of the same military that they will be fighting.)

Two wrongs in one sentence.
The right is "of the people". The same people who are to be
free in their person and possession from unwarranted search and
seizures, who have the freedom of speech and to assemble peace-ably to
petition congress (and I'd gather anyone else they care to) for redress
of grievances.
>guns for defense of the state only. Get that? Not for personal defense, not
>for home defense, but for state defense. Gunner whine and cry that "everyone

You are correct sir! (Gotta stop watching Dysney's "Hercules"
with the niece.) Only those between the ages of 18 and 45 are considered
to be in the militia. Those on active duty with either Federal or State
forces (but considering that the several states are prohibited from
keeping armies in time of peace ... it's moot. Currently.), and certain
elected officials are also considered exempt.
Which means that those in that class are part of the unorganized
milita. Which is no where near your fantasy of being employed by
Mircosoft because you might get a call.
Besides, that's what the "well-regulated" part is about. When
the time comes, you'll now what to do. You may need to dig out the manual
again, but you'll know what to do. No 'waiting for a call from MS HR.'

Well, considering that a) Microsoft isn't a constitutionally

Unfortunately for you, the National Guard is no longer a State
force. It is now an integral part of the regular Federal Army's reserve
components. Oops.

Ah - the old "If it came to a stand up fight, no bunch of
"militiamen" could stop the US army." This is true, and the US army
knows that nobody can stand up to them. Not even the US Army.
But somewhere along the lines, the gun-phobes, like noguns here,
failed to make any study of the art of war, so their ignorance is
understandable. What they don't know is that for several thousand years
(When did Sun Tzu right his book?) the smart commander doesn't attack
his enemy's strength with his own forces weakness.
Which means, in plain English, that were the US to be invaded,
the militia would be a) supprt tot he regualr forces, or b) partisans.
Militias/partisans do not want to stand up and slug it out with the
invaders. (That's what the regualrs are for). But they can do all
manner of mean nasty things to tie up the enemy for the regulars.
> 3 - Again, if we are invaded, it will not be Bubba-Joe Redneck with his deer
>rifle that holds back that armored column.
Nope. That's what the A-10s are for. Assuming the Air Force
hasn't gotten ride of them all because they're "air to mud" and not
sexy.
But the militia is very good at one thing. "Plant rice by day,
kill imperialist running dogs by night."
> 4 - The public is tired of gunners exercising their "right" in drive-by
>shootings, schooyard masacres and post office firefights.
Actually this "public" is tired of "free speechists" exercising
their "right" to inflammatory rhetoric, criminal advocacy, and slanderous
actions. I'm tired of idiots who concentrate on the felonious _use_ of
_one_ technological artifact, and blithely refuse to apply their "logic"
to other technological artifacts when those are used to commit felonies.
It's not the crime that really concerns them, nor is it the death of
innocents, it's the guns. They really don't seem to care if a woman is
raped, as long she can't threaten the rapists with a gun.
They seem not to care how many women are beaten or killed by
stalkers, as long a she can't chose to defend herself with a gun.
They give the impression that they believe that they will never
be old or infirm or otherwise incapable of warding off aggressors by the
shear force of their aura.
>Your guns will be banned.

Maybe you would feel better if the government decided that your
"disturbing the peace" arrest was the equivalent of a treason
conviction, and restrict your rights accordingly?
I'm afraid the rabid anti-gun nuts are equally as unlearned in
history and the human condition. Apparently they seem to feel that if
only the guns were gone, then there would never be another evil event.
Being the complete unlearned fools that they are, it never occurs to them
that they are advocating the return of "might makes right" and "to the
victor" goes the spoils.
Unless they have the delusion that they'll be one of the
victors.

False. The Second Amendment reads, in part. "the right of the people". If you
refer to U.S. v Verdugo-Urquidez, a Supreme Court case, you will find that "the
people" is defined as each individual citizen of the United States. Strike One.

False. Title 10 United States Code Section 311 clearly defines the militia. Most
of the populace is already a part of the militia -- no affirmative "sign up" is
required. Strike Two.
> 2 - Just what is it about gunners that makes them think they can hold off a
>professional fighting force?
Most of us are former members of that "professional fighting force", therefore,
we have been exposed to the same training. The disparity in skills that you
imply does not exist. Strike Three -- Yer Out!! Next batter.
> The big argument is "the troops wont shoot fellow
>Americans" but most of these gunners have declared that *they* will fire upon
>their fellow Americans.
Many active duty, Reserve and Guard troops have already indicated that they will
desert rather than follow orders to fire on American civilians. Those military
personnel who will follow those orders will be, by their actions, the enemies of
the people of the United States. Strike One.
> Who looks more dangerous to Ma and Pa at home when

Oh, really? Ma and Pa are busy watching their Social Security and/or retirement
funds being taxed into oblivion. What little is left goes to buy groceries at
ever increasing prices. Ma and Pa have little reason to trust anyone...
Strike Two.
> 3 - Again, if we are invaded, it will not be Bubba-Joe Redneck with his deer

Bigotry. Strike Three -- Yer Outta There!! Next Batter
Tianamen Square -- a young man armed with a shopping bag held up an armored
column for several minutes. Strike One.
Tankers can't stay buttoned up indefinately. When they do open their hatches,
that deer rifle will become useful. Strike Two.
> 4 - The public is tired of gunners exercising their "right" in drive-by

Law-abiding citizens, whom you disparagingly refer to as "gunners", are not the
ones committing drive-by shootings, schooyard [sic] masacres [sic] and post
office firefights. Strike Three -- The side is retired.

"Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation.
Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the
only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and
execution is carried out automatically and without pity." (Robert A. Heinlein,

Glad to see *you're* not a bigot.....Is everyone who owns a gun a
"turner diary "reading, pick-up driving rube?
Please use logic, not emotions. People may take you more seriously.
"If you're not a Socialist at 20, you have no heart. If you're still a
Socialist at 30, you have no head"
Gee, buttmunch, many gunners dont use their real names here, so why should I?
Ohhhhhhh...so you admit that the military and police have the right to run you
life? GREAT! Turn in your guns, please.
Sure, God says you can defend yourself. Now point out where it says you can
use a gun to do it!
Illogical. In both examples given, it was a foreign invader operating on enemy
territory. Thing would be very different if gunners refused the lawful order
issued by Congress and the President to turn in their guns and decided to
fight. Or are you gunners above and beyond the will of the people? More and
more, that will is coming down on the anti-guns side.

And that is such a comfort to all the parnets in Jonesboro. "Aren't you glad
those two boys were only part of the 0.6% of gunners who actually listen to the
voices in their heads?"
Assuming that there are 100,000,000 guns in the US (and we've all seen both
sides quote higher numbers), that puts about 600,000 of them in the spotlight
as people killing devices. Would you accept cars that had only a .6% chance of
exploding every time you turned it on? Of course not! 600,000 guns used for
crime is too much. One is too much! Time to lose them all!
Surprise, asshole, I WOULD be the first to volunteer for that job and it is
very unlikely that gunners like you would survive a determined effort to round
you up, dead or alive. Personally, I'd prefer dead in your case. Water, air
and food conservation and all that... <vbg>

>EFFECTIVELY. Does that make you feel good?
Yup, just remember that we like nothing better than public declarations that
you bought your guns for the specific purpose of fighting the legitimate
government of the United States. Let's see..should this be Exhibit 238 or 239?
Nothing like geometrically increasing the risk of gun death in his household as
a way to celebrate his life and say "I love ya, man!".
Got your pallbearer suit picked out yet?
Oh, you mean the part that says males between 18 and 45? Then I guess all you
over the age of 45 better turn in your guns than. You have no legal reason to
keep them under 10 USC 311.
here...take your medicine
Wanna bet? When was the last time you passed an APFT? CTT test? How good are
you at squad operation in urban or wilderness areas? Noise, light, or fire
discipline? Guess again, goober. "Former members" need quite a bit of
retraining to get back to any decent standards of a professional military. Get
the to FTC!

Then was most likely arrested and later beaten into a thin red paste. Your
point? The tanks still rolled. The students ran. Things did not change.

But they *were* "law-abiding" when they bought their guns.

out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or
