The occurance is unlikely, I agree. But who should be there to stop it if they render the populus impotent by disarmament and the removing of the constitutional rights? Bad regimes ALWAYS start with actions of this sort. The first thing Hitler did was collect up all the guns!

Sir Kenyth, that is the biggest myth that the gun lovers like to tell. Hitler never confiscated everyone's weapons, and I would like to see you back up your claim.

Second, if the government does decide to suddenly take over, with help from the military, what good is your pea-shooter or shotgun going to do against helicopters, tanks, cruise missiles, etc.? Not a bit of good.[/QUOTE]I don't know anything about this, but I'm sure that Hitler didn't let the Jews into the death camps bearing firearms. That being the case, then Hitler DID at one point take away firearms from a large part of the populace.

We wouldn't stand a chance against the government now. The advances in technology over the last hundred years have changed things to the point where that part of the second ammendment is honestly laughable. There is no way civillians could stand up against the military. But still, while we no longer need the 2nd amendment, I'd like to see what happens to any politicians career who tries to take it away from us though! [img]smile.gif[/img]
