2nd Amendment

[greenberetTFS]

Since this is my mind set,I've decided to pass this on.
"When a government is big enough to give you everything you want, it is big enough to take everything you have"..........Thomas Jefferson

2nd Amendment!
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. (waiting for attack)

The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.


1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'

6. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm.
'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?'
'No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'

7. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

But wait, there's more!

I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. I said I did.
She said 'Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!'
To which I said, of course it is loaded, can't work without bullets!'
She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?'
My reply was, 'No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all loaded too.'
To which I'll add, having a gun in the house that isn't loaded is like having a car in the garage without gas in the tank.

I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!

AMEN! And pass the ammunition.

We must protect our second amendment rights. If we don't then who will? Certainly not a liberal/leftist media who believes that guns are evil. Are guns for everyone? No. That is the beauty of our constitution. It assures us certain inalienable rights that we can enjoy as long as our rights do not prevent others from enjoying their rights.

I lived in the Denver, CO area back in the '88-89 time frame when some nut-case went on a rampage. It ended with him "holed up" in a condo and Arapahoe County deputies, and the sheriff himself, surrounding him. A deputy got shot at the door, and the sherriff drove an SUV through a fence to extricate him. Several people were killed or wounded during the day, which started with the "perp" breaking into a house to steal a car. There was a 911 call from the homeowner, in which the bad guy can be heard breaking into her house over several minutes as she waited for the arrival of the police. Had she had a weapon she knew how to use, all of the day's drama would have ended right there. Alas, she did not.

AMEN to that!

"If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin."

-Samuel Adams

"We have four boxes used to guarantee our liberty: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box and the cartridge box."

-Unknown

"Our safety, our liberty depends on preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution"

-Abraham Lincoln

[GratefulCitizen]

"The 2nd amendment guarantees that the people at large will retain the means to quash any rebellion which may come from their elected/appointed servants."

[Onuma]

"The Second Amendment guarantees the rest." This is why it is so crucial that we uphold it to its fullest.

That being said, I could go for some trigger time. Can't wait to build on my SEI M14 receiver!
