Marlin Reinhart had an opinion piece in The Morning Call the other day claiming that the Second Amendment no longer served a national purpose because the original state militias were transformed into the National Guard. But I noticed the one thing he forgot is that the state militias� original purpose was in case our own government became too corrupt, the state militias of armed citizens were supposed to be a line of protection from the government-controlled military. |

"Unfortunately these days, thanks to the massively weakened Second Amendment, our state militias no longer have enough firepower to stand against our military if our current corrupt government* were to wrongfully declare martial law."
*But they do have enough firepower to go after them and their families.
Keeping them aware of that is in our best interest. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
