P.S. I'm still laughing because of the image of a bunch of
fat, out of
shape middle aged men with shotguns, pistols and hunting
rifles trying
to take on well trained troops with fully automatic weapons,
grenade
lauchers, tanks, helicopter gunships and all kinds of
sophisticated
weaponry bought with the tax that those old men paid.
Not only would the U.S. version of the secret police probably
pick up
most of them before they could fire a shot,
Well, that's impossible because we do not have a "secret
police" force and
we take great pains to ensure that even the local police do
not have access
to what records might exist on who owns what arms. That's the
point of the
2nd Amendment. There are more than 300 million guns in private
ownership in
the US, and the government has pretty much no idea whatsoever
where the bulk
of those guns are or who has them. That's not a flaw in our
system, it's a
feature specifically intended by the Framers.
LOL. Yeah, that's what the "Framers" had in mind.
==================
I'd dare say yes, as compared to your model of confiscation and
bans.
Hoods and angry
ex-husbands walking around with assault weapons that you can
buy on street
corners.
====================
You do like strawmen, don't you? What's an "assault weapon"?
