The Second Amendment is now meaningless.... [View All]

This is the first thread I've started, so I hope I don't get out of line. Actually, controversy is what makes boards like these fun to me, so I'm really hoping not to get booted for a strong and controversial view I hold.

I was reading the "Mike Malloy says to buy a gun" thread below, and found many of the posts to be interesting. The moral of the thread to me is "buy a gun because we're going to have to revolt against these thugs who think they rule by divine right".

I think this is precisely the reason the 2nd Amendment is in the Constitution, specifically based on the fact that the writers of the 2nd Amendment had just revolted and overthrown their government.

The problem now is "they" have missiles, helicoptors, spy satellites, and F-16s. If "we" were to arm ourselves in the spirit of the 2nd Amendment, "we" would have to have these also. And that is impossible.

So, I wish we could stop piddling around with the 2nd Amendment and STOP THE VIOLENCE. It's too bad it's such and election killer.
