"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

You Yanks threw the Brits out with violence. That's the essence of the clause. The argument BEGINS with "A well regulated Militia... " If the Brits had decided to quash the revolution, they would have done so. Instead, they decided to use USA economically, as they subsequently did. Yanks conquered the USA on their behalf, using mostly Irish immigrants to do it... violently.

Some Yanks think they're high and mighty, but when it comes down to it, they can't defeat tyranny any more than the rest of us. So, as long as we don't don't shoot up the place, leave us the fuck alone. Employ good gun laws, and leave legal gun owners alone.

I am a Canuck. I have owned guns all my life. I wouldn't think of using them against any other human... unless they tried to take them from me against my will.

BTW, how many "gun threads" to date? I say far too many.
