#1 The right to keep and bear arms is fundamental. The entire point of having fundamental rights is to prevent well-meaning politicians from making well-intentioned tweaks. Fundamental rights are too important. We can't let it happen.

#2 When Pravda speaks up for our rights and American MSM speaks up for those who would deny our rights I don't know who to believe anymore. My guess is that this article will never appear in Pravada's Russian version and is intended for strictly American consumption. But how do I know? I know all too well the crap that is coming from the likes of ABC News. How do I even know anymore what is really going on in Russia? If I can't believe ABC on guns, how can I believe them on the likes of Russia, China or Iran?

#3 I don't see this going well for this govmint if further attempts are made to dismantle the 2nd Amendment. Washington is but a small island in a large freedom-loving country.

#5 "In holding, one faced an extremely well-armed and aggressive population Hell-bent on exterminating or driving out the agressor" > SUMS UP QUITE CLEARLY THE CONSTITUTIONAL PREMISE + RIGHT OF AMERICANS TO OWN, CARRY, + STORE GUNS/FIREARMS, + THE NEED "FOR A WELL-ARMED MILITIA".
Iff the sovereign US Standing Army = Armed Services were ever defeated or destroyed by a dedicated opposing Enemy, the latter - in Sole or in Group - could not hope to quickly or successfully invade + occupy America widout dealing wid its well-armed Citizenry whose personal firearms or weapons technology(s) is par, near-par, superior or even dominant to the military technologies of any Enemy or group of Enemies.
TO PARAPH ABRAHAM LINCOLN - AMERICANS CANNOT BE DEFEATED BY ANY FOREIGN STATE POWERS. THE ONLY REAL THREAT TO AMERICA OR AMERICANS STEMS FROM WITHIN, I.E. A "HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND".

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
