Daniel, Not a very assuring vision of the future! I agree with you on the Second Amendment. I had along conversation yesterday with my Nigerian Christian friends. In Nigeria a tribal Muslim minority holds the 60% majority of Traditonalists/Christians at bay since the ethnic majority Yoruba, Ibo, Ijwe, Ogoni Tribes, etc., have no weapons, are not allowed to be officers in the armed forces, and are constantly terrorized by the Nigerian Army. As my Nigerian friends so succinctly point out- it is the existence of the Second Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms, which is so sorely lacking in their homeland and allows a South African-style repressive minority and wildly corrupt government to flourish while millions in the most populous country of Africa are reduced to poverty..... Sincerely, Doug F.
