Sooo, as long as everyone can buy a hunting rifle, they are safe from an oppressive government? That is the most simplistic and naive argument I have ever heard.

From what I understand, the Branch Davidians had a very impressive personal armory. It didn't do them very much good.

I hope that when you took your oath, you took it to the entire Constitution and not just the second amendment, which allows for militias, and makes no claims towards the carry rights of civilians.

In a government that only respected the second amendment, the only solace would be the last bullet you saved for yourself.

I will agree that when you get drunk watching Bill O'Reilly, you probably are the wisest living thing in the room. Assuming of course, that you let the cat out.
