    A while ago someone had written why the 2nd ammendment was for the people as opposed to the Gov.

    It said something along the lines of, "our forfathers just fighting the British to gain our independence, put the 2A in there so the Gov. would have guns to opress us again." Only it was written far more eloquently.

    Any Idea of where on this great forum to find it?

    It has been put more succinctly: "The Second Amendment is the right to revolt."

    The backbone of the American revolution was the colonial militia, self formed and mostly self commanded. That is the bald fact that no one wants to talk about. The Brady gang wants to talk about the National Guard (actually an armed forces reserve), and the NRA wants to talk about deer hunting.

    The pro-gun folks don't want to discuss the real meaning for fear of being thought subversive; the anti-gun folks don't want to discuss the real reason for fear of being seen as supporting oppression and tyranny.

    So, let's talk about the National Guard and deer hunting.
