The concept of individual citizens armed with small arms holding off a
huge invading army is an NRA wet dream. Americans aren't as tough as
Afghanis.

Based on what? *Your left wing, elitist opinion that you present as a
"fact"?

History proves you wrong.

Based upon the fact that this isn't the 18th or 19th century, and that any
huge invading army is going to be equipped and organized as a huge
invading army. It's going to be up to our military to protect the
homeland.

Hell, as far as I can tell, there are only a couple of "regulars" in this
newsgroup who regularly practice with firearms.

I don't own one, does not mean I don't know how too. *I have had some
training, and have in earlier years gone hunting.

If I ever had to pick one up to use it to protect life, property or freedom
bet I could beat most Canadians and would at least check the barrel for
being pinned so I wouldn't blow my face off.

Responsible owners should be allowed to keep their firearms. *Take Canada as
proof you can pass any law you like and spend whatever you like but the
criminals still have them. *It's only possible redemption is that it does
deter the irresponsible owner, but leaves the rest without.

Taking guns from responsible people addresses nothing of the problem it is
pandered to solve. *Just lets liberal control freaks control more of your
life.

I haven't seen anything from Obama in his two year campaign that
indicates to me he plans to go after my firearms.

I haven't seen anything in his three years as Senator of my state that
indicated to me he plans to do anything for anybody.
