>> What kind of workable solution do you have with the 2nd? I think the original intent of the 2nd Amendment has been negated by changes in society and technology. A free press is much more effective in moderating government. Ask Richard Nixon. Re-iterating a point someone else made: when organising a coup d'etat, primary targets include TV and Radio stations. >> As for arms for a free state-- I believe we should have assault weapons. I don't agree. The government, if so inclined, will always outgun you. >> One question: You really trust the gov't? No. But having access to an Armalite wouldn't make me feel any better. OT >>For self defense a hand gun is the best. (Unless you live on a farm or ranch.) I have to disagree. I would prefer a shotgun for home defense. If I really needed a handgun to feel safe when I leave my house, I would emigrate. w.
