RR #4

If our forefathers didn’t have firearms, how would we have over thrown the British government? A huge reason for the second amendment that people do not realize is for the citizens of the USA to have the ability to protect themselves from the government. Some might say that is extremist and crazy and unpatriotic. But being patriotic has nothing to do with liking your government; it has to do with liking your country. To me, having the right to bear arms is more important than freedom of speech. Because you can talk all you want but its never gonna get anything done. Not to mention having the right to effectively protect your family from home invaders and criminals. Plus if even if you some how did remove the second amendment entirely or illegalize non hunting weapons such as assault rifles and handguns, people would not be having that! I can tell you right now that if the obama administration attempts to place the 1994 weapon contraband in affect again I and millions of Americans will be literally up in arms. LITERALLY. So if the government has any sense at all, it will stay the hell out of the way Americans and their guns. COME AND TAKE IT! Not to mention it will do nothing to stop crime! Criminals will still use guns, and they will still buy them illiegally, if you want something you can get it! So why not give law abiding citizens the right to protect themselves effectively against crime? If you take away the second amendment I will no longer call myself an American, guns freed this country, and citizens owning them is what keeps our freedom. Otherwise our government would be able to walk all over us without consequence. Not to mention since 40% of people in this country own guns and 80% Texans own guns. So how are you gonna take them away? Come to everyones house and say hand em over? That will go over well…. Haha! To me this isn’t even something worth arguing about. I and millions of other Americans would literally rather die than give up our guns, the same way I would die for this country. A Japanese emperor once said “ I would never attempt to invade America, there would be a gun behind every blade of grass”

  1. I agree with you completely! Guns are what freed this country and keep it that way. I would be right beside everyone else, like you, fighting the government if they were to take away guns. Our government would quickly fall short of being democratic if the public were not allowed to own guns. And you're right that criminals would still find a way to get guns anyways, even if they were deemed illegal. You made some really good points!
