What I find hard to believe is this, how not one organization had the balls to actually write a brief that included addressing the real problem with all these bans. In the grand scheme of things it is not whether we should be able to have handguns or long guns, no. It should be about what has happened to our preparedness to deal with tyranny and invasion on an individual citizen basis. We not only should be able to own machine guns, but if we are to be the ultimate line in the sand the 2A has set us to be, we absolutely need them. If the government decides to keep George bush for life, what can we do about it? Line up with our .357's and AR-15's and demand he leave? What if China decides we are their summer home? Do we hold them off with our .308 bolt action 5 shot rifles? I'll go further, when their migs come flying overhead, do we take pot shots with flairs? Homemade model rockets? We should be able to go get trained on a stinger system and be able to buy one. We should be able to go out and buy an XM-8 system. Your crazy you say? That is exactly what the 2A says we have the right to do. What good are Mossberg's and AR-15's against what we would have to face if we needed to defend our liberty? No good, is your answer. Some of you may see this as a crazy rant by a paranoid gun nut, but it is nothing but the truth.
