#1 I see Kim's point: the second amendment should allow inidividual citizens to arm themselves like an individual soldier. Higher levels of organization, and weaponry, are reserved for state and federal armies.
One Canadian, in a discussion about the Pentagon's plans for invading Canada, warned us about their snipers. While any sort of "resistance" Canada would put up if we were motivated enough to invade them, would be laughable, BUT I would count on a way higher body count than Iraq solely because of those snipers. Thus, I heartily agree with Kim's suggestion that citizens be allowed to own sniper-worthy weapons: I think it would be possible for Vidalia, Georgia, to field more snipers, albeit not as good, as the Canadians. Multiply that by all the cities and towns in the United States with populations of at least 10,000, and you'll see a situation where nobody would even THINK of trying to invade North Dakota. |
