How can the people count on preservation of the rest of the bill of rights if they lose the 2nd Amendment.?

Question

Any historian will tell you the only way to cast off oppression is to rise up and fight. Which is why I'm always confused when the guy who screams loudest about the erosion of the bill of rights concerning the recent "war on terror" seems to always be the same guy who is a staunch supporter of gun control. Could someone explain this to me?

90 million gun owners in the U.S. will probably get more than 50 or a 100 guys together. c'mon. I just want to know how someone can support one part of the bill of rights and be completely against another right that they have. It seems strange to me.

Answer 1

They cant, a Dictator, always starts with Gun Control.

Answer 2

When was the last time someone was able to use force of arms to enforce their constitutional rights? The 1800s?

For at least the last century, the way to claim and enforce constitutional rights has been through the courts, not by pointing guns at the government.

So, the answer to your question is -- the courts will continue to do so, as they have for a long time now.

Owning firearms does nothing to protect our rights from government oppression. Ten or fifty or a hundred people with guns get sqashed. Just look at history. Until you can get 100,000 people who are all armed and trained, all working together for a common goal, we can't hope to stand up against the existing military force.

Answer 3

CORYGRAF, Ihave pretty much agreed with your answers but you are dead wrong on this one, as it is now you are pretty much right but, we must force the gov, to go back to a draft for our military, professional soldiers are to apt to fire on their own, a drafted military is not that is why our forefathers warned us about a volunteer army they are to dangerous, and we must make sure the gov, doe's not gain the power it wants to retain,our gov, should only have the powers it was granted by our Constitution nothing more and any one fool enough to say what difference doe's it make is plain loco,
our armed forces will not fight against their own people if they are regular soldiers as they have family's of their own a professional army , who really knows???
