I found this among the e-mail responses on World Net Daily: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Missing the point?
I believe I have heard every Second Amendment argument there is, on both sides. All these arguments are unrelated to the REAL ISSUE. Therefore, I don't think there is ANY REASON to be overly concerned about what, in particular, the Congress or the president does to us anymore. Here are the reasons:
The Second Amendment is there for one purpose -- as the ultimate protection against the power of government. It allows weapons to always be available for a needed revolt against any tyrannical government. That means ANY TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT. There is no such thing as "good government." Gen. Washington was correct in his observation that "government is force."
The Second Amendment is quickly being repealed and interpreted out of existence, before a successful revolt can take place. Are you getting this?
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights cannot stop tyranny. Only guns can, maybe.
I have stopped worrying about this or that gun ban or registration scheme, regulation or amendment. I already know, deep down, why I own guns. Guns will be VERY NECESSARY when "permission" to keep them is eventually denied. Remember, the government is not going to give me permission to revolt.
We must take that action out of free will and the thirst for liberty. When the need arises, and it will, we must use our guns for their REAL INTENDED PURPOSE. We are following in the footsteps of giants. Their words should serve as a guide:
'The strongest reason for people to retain their rights to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government,' said Thomas Jefferson.
Years later Abraham Lincoln said, "This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it."
When the time comes to use our guns, it will be the very last chance we have to preserve this nation.
