re: #88 Varek Raith

Dear gun nuts,
You can not possibly win against a theoretical tyrannical government with your pea shooters when they bring armor, aircraft and highly trained soldiers.
Get over that fantasy.

David Barton has the answer.

Barton insisted that the Founders called the Second Amendment “the biblical right of self defense” and crafted it to ensure that citizens could protect themselves again any and all threats, including the government, with equal firepower.

In Barton’s view, whatever weapons the government possesses must also be available to the population at large because the citizens might one day need to resist the government, so this principle of “equal power … has got to control the gun control debate”:

Every American should be able to exercise their God given right to purchasing an anti-tank missile at their local retailer.
