[quote=Anonymous][quote=liamw][quote=Anonymous][quote=liamw][quote=Anonymous][quote=liamw]Ummm I value gun rights because its how you defend the rest of your rights...........[/quote]

Give me a few examples of how having a gun protects you from the govt.

The govt is coming to mow you down in tanks.  How does your gun help you?

The cops are coming to your house, maybe it's a case of mistaken identity.  They kick down your door in a drug raid.  Do you shoot cops?  Really?[/quote]

A great example would be the American revolution, fact of the matter is DHS is growing and the Military is shrinking, last time I checked the creed of DHS did not say it "serves the American people" the creed of a soldier on the other hand does. I will never give up my fire arms it is as simple as that, our gov Arms terrorists, they arm drug cartels, they tell us we don't need guns to protect our family, yet every wealthy person in this country has a security detail. How many cops have killed people with no fire arm, our society in whole is in decay and I for one care enough about my family to stand up for them, the best way to stop a "bad guy" with a gun is with a gun, flowers don't work didn't we learn that at Kent state?

The American revolution was a different world.  So different it's practically a different planet, a different universe altogether.  [b]The technology our government has now renders your "right to defend against the tyrant King of England" quaint[/b].  We are left with firearms that seem to only serve to slaughter innocent school kids and citizens, and the government runs amok in other ways.  Platitudes and sentiment, with which your post is rife, are useless.  Tell me how, in Tianamen Square (sp) or during a traffic stop with a power tripping cop who body cavity searches you, how are your guns going to help you?  In these real, modern world examples?  [/quote]

So what you are saying is no leader no where on the planet has become tyrannical ? What you are saying is we because we live in the now should surrender ALL rights ?[/quote]

What I am saying is that we have passed the point where an armed populace can resist tyranny.  We must now rely on the rule of law and the democratic process.  Yes that scares me too.  But I am not going to fool myself into thinking that because I own a rifle or a handgun, I can stop the government from abusing my rights.[/quote]
