Dear Brothers, this piece is about our 2nd Amendment rights, I think you should pay close attention to what it is saying, and if you truly believe in the 2nd Amendment then copy the link and send it to every gun owner you know and can.
We shall not give up our rights.

I've always been a little leery of FrontSight, it sounds like they offer good training but the folks I meet that want to talk about it often come off as Amway salesmen. I suppose I always have something in mind to criticize about nearly anything though.

As to the statement from Heller: "Like most rights, the Second Amendment is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."

My answer is quite simple. The ammendment itself quite clearly mentions a valid aim in protecting the people's right to keep and bear arms as the maintenance of the security of a free state. Certainly then the right MUST encompass arms of relevance to maintaining the security of a free state, keeping and bearing them in a mannor condusive to this security, and at the very least for this purpose.

At the time of the signing I do believe individual citizens could own ships with deck mounted cannons, so I find it suprising that people suggest the signers never envisioned such powerful weaponry as the semi-automatic AK-47 ( tounge in cheek ) in the hands of the people. Under the NFA registration and tracking system (which turned into a ban in 1986 on new auto rifles) less than a handful of registered arms were ever used in crime. This amounts to ample evidence that there is no credible threat from such weapons in the hand of lawful citizens. With such a successful program of registration and tracking, why was a ban neccessary or defensible? Since such registration and tracking led to a ban, how could one consider that further registration and tracking requirements would not also lead to further unwarranted bans? Few people I debate with have good answers to these questions that do not betray a "guilt until proven innocent" attitude toward the people.


I would like to recommend the film: In Search of the Second Amendment
It's about two hours long but represents an exellent body of law research into the historic individual right to keep and bear arms. It's a review of history and law that few opponents have mastered, and often count on people to be ignorant of in argumentation.

Well, I'm not black, but I tend to agree with crux.

I don't know if you know this, My Black Rifle Brethren refers to something I like to call

The Brothers of the Black Rifle..............which we all are apart of.........owning an AR or variant.....meant no offense or slam.............as for agreeing with crux, as always his "Top end" intellect is something I always admire, and he is usually right, I am more the simple and direct type............another of our freedoms soon to be threatened, the right to choose what we believe in and to speak our minds.
