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 don't accept the
prognostications of the NRA.

Agreed, public record is better:

1 for, 6 against and one neutral. While Obama's mouth moves one way his
votes tend to go the other way.
