Ranting for the Second Amendment (SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 2013)

 
 After the theater shooting and before the school shootings I was in a forum on another site.  One liberal (odd that those supposedly for freedom are against the means to defend it.-note I am a techno liberal... and believe in poly... so I am not a religious conservative by any means) woman started off with not needing a semi-automatic weapon to kill bambi. (I did have to tell her about the semi-automatic being one bullet per trigger pull thing)

I told her flat out that the second amendment was intended to cull vermin that infest  governments wanting to infringe on our freedoms.

She had a novel response...

"That's absurd, if that's the reason, then that's stupid because you cannot fight drones and tanks" (we had already gone over the sword, musket, pike thing)

(Being that my home town is the U.S.. Army and I work for the Marine Corps (CONUS office rat... no where near the sharp end and I never had the honor of serving my self... but I serve those who serve...) and recovering from a 20 year addiction to a military sci-fi game that got into the weeds.)

I know that that is no where close to the truth.

Tanks are dead in close quarters if they are unsupported by infantry...
And tanks are only useful if they are occupied.
Drones are fragile... that is why they are unmanned.

Defend the schools, defend the theaters...  metal detectors and armed security...

But the blood of the future will be on our hands if we go as far as the gun control nuts are wanting to go.

Background checks, bio-locked weapons etc, all of this is sane.

But the guns r bad crowd needs to think things through...

Every political horror story that I have ever read starts "first they came for the guns, then they came for the ..., then they came for me"


Imo? Gun control is that which is taught on the firing range.
