Guns, who should be able to own them? Options

[*NatiMarie*]

We all know that guns can cause harm, they're everywhere darnit!

Primarily, who can own them? Who shouldn't own them?

I wasnt the one to mention law enforcement..someone else brought that up, but anyways.. how has the government broken the law? you havent stated specifically yet..

Alright and 1. I love your Rome analogy, its very well written but 2. it shoudnt apply here


I still dont see how you can be so sure that our government will reach that point.. i mean.. simply because it happened in the past doesnt mean that it'll happen again..

We cant prepare for everything that might possibly happen, its just not practical

The Constitution is the HIGHEST law of the land. The government breaks it every day.

In the War on Drugs, they routinely raid people's homes and businesses without warrant, thus breaking the Fourth Amendment, and the law.

They pass laws against hate speech, pornography, etc., thus violating the First Amendment, and breaking the law.

They forcibly tax us, then use the money to pay for things that are not authorized by Article I, Section 8 such as welfare, thus breaking the Ninth AND Tenth Amendments, and breaking the law.

They delegate legislative powers to the United Nations, thus violating Section I of the Constitution, and breaking the law.

They put American citizens in G-Bay without access to trial, thus breaking the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, and the law.

They pass gun laws, thus breaking the Second Amendment, and the law.

Need I go further? Numbers-wise the government is easily the biggest criminal in the country.

Moreover, I'm not saying we should prepare for everything that might possibly happen, but it's VERY CLEAR that the United States is heading down the road to despotism. The government -- ONE SINGLE AGENCY -- already uses almost 60% of our Nation's GDP. Get that? The government controls THREE out of every FIVE dollars in the country. This is a sure-fire response for dictatorship, when a single agency becomes that powerful.

My Rome analogy is perfectly relevant, I've already shown how it applied if you read more closely. And it's not just Rome. This is what happened to the French as well, only on a much quicker scale (Civic Republic: 1789, Imperial Republic: 1793, Welfare-State: 1804, Despotism: 1815, Revolution again: 1848). And in England in the 1600s and 1700s, only the Revolutions did not reach the Mother Country itself excpet for the 1688 "Glorious Revolution", instead occuring in the Colonies.
