Quote:I understand the natural fears that good folks have that an El Paso or a Dayton episode might happen again..."Might" happen again? It's not a question of if, but when.
Quote:The colonial weapon of choice was the Kentucky long rifle, while British soldiers used their army-issued version of Brown Bessies.LOL. No. The colonials' primary infantry weapon was a military musket, mostly the British Brown Bess and the French Charleville.
Quote:It is a matter of historical fact that the colonists won the war largely by superior firepower.LOL again.
Quote:Second among the personal liberties preserved in the Bill of Rights from impairment by the government was the right to self-defense.There is no mention of self defense in the Seccond Amendment. Its purpose was to assure that members of State militias would have access to the weapons they were required to own for militia duty.
Quote:The government's job is to preserve personal liberty.Also wrong. The function of government is to enforce order in society, and exercise control of the people. This results in restriction -- not preservation -- of individual liberty.
Quote:The people are entitled to own and possess the same arms as the government...Not according to the Supreme Court.
