Second, all the military equipment you've mentioned is not built (or the parts) on a military bases, but by civilians in 1000's of different places around the US. Meaning, the Government has a limited amount of time to putdown a civil uprising because if it does spread, they won't be able to get parts to keep equipment functional. I assure you that the people making those parts are all pro 2nd amendment.
Third, you being a British "subject" don't have a clue on what it's actually like to be a citizen or the inherit duty to be one. Your duty as a subject is to obey what your government tells you as a citizens duty is to makes sure the government does what we tell them to even at the end of a barrel if need be.  |
First paragraph = true I was over doing it a bit with that statement.
Cannons etc were stolen from military bases which help level the playing field. Lots of arms were taken etc. Which is all (sounds easy enough) you would have to do again if your government tried to imprison your citizens.
Second paragraph = true to some extent, the civillians have access to the parts, where would their loyalties lie in the time of a new civil war (the makers of weapons)? I don't know. Maybe they will back the government, I'm sure they line the pockets of arms dealers more than the general public. But you can use your guns to take over those places right? So that's all good, hoorah! 2nd ammendment! Woo!
Third paragraph?
Ok then! Why has nobody who opposes the patriot act taken that up with Mr Obama, or Mr Bush when he was in charge? Why are you not out there demanding the bankers who caused financial collapse be held accountable?
I'm a British and European citizen, in the UK the Royal family has no power, not anymore, they are merely there as a symbol.
You do know the original settlers in North America were only there because they wished to seperate from the Church not the Crown right? They were still English "subjects" at the time.
