Description: In an age of increasing lawlessness and inadequate police protection, the essential right to bear arms, a right protected by the Constitution regardless of any subjective evaluation of the relative need for a weapon in a particular case, becomes ever more important.

Quotes from the Comments section:
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
George Mason Co-author of the Second Amendment
"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves"
Richard Henry Lee writing in Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republic, Letter XVIII, May, 1788
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
Some people might submit because they don't understand that usurping moves against the 2nd Amendment invalidate the usurpers, not our Constitution. Others won't be so bamboozled.

Their are lots of gun owners here in texas. Guns still adorn the gun racks in our trucks. We are not giving up our guns...
I have noticed something else....
The idea of resisting a black man coming to get your guns... well more people seem inlcined to say fuck him I think... more than the last guy who went after assault rifles...
DWornock, I advise you against giving up your guns but if you do that is your choice. I have been asking around, I have not found anyone willing to give up their guns yet.
I wish it was otherwise. However, talk is cheap and almost meaningless. Since it is the deep South, I feel certain that gun owners in New Orleans also would have said, We are not giving up our guns." However, the New Orleans gun confiscation horror in the aftermath of Katrina is more than a cautionary tale. It's a stark reminder of what will happen when the authorities come for our guns.

Moving so against the 2nd Amendment would mean that they aren't really "the authorities" here, DW. Just outlaws.
