On this very day in 1775, 238 years ago, in the same Massachusetts as today's manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers being covered by 24-hour television, 700 British soldiers marched into Lexington and Concord to "confiscate" the assault weapons of the local militia.
It did not end well for the British 238 years ago, and
started the revolutionary war that gained independence from the Crown, and
enabled the eventual birth of the United States of America. On this very day in 1775, 238 years ago, in the same Massachusetts as today's manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers being covered by 24-hour television, 700 British soldiers marched into Lexington and Concord to "confiscate" the assault weapons of the local militia.
If you never really understood the meaning of, and necessity for, the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, the above action 238 years ago should provide a measure of understanding. The 2nd Amendment is not really about firearms, it's about having the means to arm a Militia in order to make the Militia a viable means to protect free citizens, be it protection from Bad Guys or from a tyrannical Government, to wit: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.There are well meaning people today who believe that the concept of an armed citizen militia, in today's modern world, is a charming but archaic notion. And besides, each state's National Guard is in reality a citizen militia so an armed general population is both unnecessary and dangerous. Not so fellow citizens. The National Guard has been made an integrated part of the federal standing army, and in no way represents a local armed citizen militia. A federal standing army was feared by the Founders because such standing armies were always the means for a tyrannical government to usurp the freedom of the people and an armed citizen militia was the means to preclude the necessity for a standing federal army, hence, the 2nd Amendment. If today you become a member of a public armed militia, you will be arrested and taken into custody.
Today's relentless and unending push today to remove weapons from the free citizens of the general population of the United States of America, is not really about the safety of children or anyone else. The banning (confiscation) of assault, or any other type of weapon, is about removing the means for viable resistance to an tyrannical Government and the forced reliance upon Government for your personal protection.
