Do you think you should have an RPG? Grenades? A machine gun?

Bearing arms for self defense against our neighbors is a fine thing. Everyone who has ever been seriously threatened knows that.
But that is not the reason our founders provided us with that right.

The right to bear arms was provided to us by our founders, not so we can shoot kids and not so we can defend kids. We got that right so we can protect ourselves against an out of control government.

Our politicians want protection, so they vote money to protect themselves. That option is not available to us.
If you want to protect your kids, go ahead, spend some money and gun-up and protect them.

If you want to protect the Constitution of The United States, and your personal freedoms, "against all enemies foreign and domestic", the rest of us will bring our weapons and assist you.

If it ever gets to that, you will wish we all came 30 round magazines, machine guns, RPGs and grenades.
