The Constitutional amendment guaranteeing our right to keep and bear arms always realised that you were going to have some weapons the other side wouldn't. The idea was that your government would not be able to run over you without heavy resistance! You had the ability to fight and die for your rights and the second amendment guaranteed you a position of pushing back if your were walked on! That was what was meant by "though shall not tread upon me"! It is the delay and threat of a citizens resistance that tells your governemt your not going into the night without a fight!
Nuclear weapons, well if those go off we are all done! An aqrmed citizenry could even force a government to reconsider setting off nuclear weapons resulting in our ultimate destruction. Our second amendment rights gave us the right to defend ourselves and a voice our government could not take away even if we were outgunned!
Lopok at Africa. At one time all the citizens of Botswana carried a rifle. It was understood that everyone had a rifle to hunt with, protect themselves and the means to fight back any hostile enemy. Once a totalrian government came in and forcibly removed the farmers right to own rifles, these people were slaughtered because they had no means to fight back and protect themselves and now anyone with a slight clue can see the results!
If guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns. I'm proud to be in the latter category if you force me into it!
