what a waste of time.. the guy heading it up said the 2nd amendment is only for home protection. So I said,"that's it huh?" just for the home?" So I said,
here's what Thomas Jefferson said...."The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

I forgot to tell him this..."The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."

His response was a peaceful demenstration... for "change".. so I said, "what if that's not enough?" And there was some fruit cake with whoppie cushions on his head with a hat and a banner that said "let it out". What a meatball. He said peaceful resolution was the only way...So A gal holding a flag, a big flag said, "take it up with Thomas Jefferson" LOL

Seems like talking about our problems just ends with talking.

Thats why we were armed when we went. Because they wouldn't have a 1st Amendment if it wasn't for a 2nd Amendment
