Decomposed > My question is, IS THE SECOND AMENDMENT RELEVANT TODAY?


Yes it is.

Think of it this way . . . Fort Hood Texas has all those lovely tanks . . . How far are they going to get if Biden decides they need to 'conquer Austin Texas' and Texas hunters start shooting out the tires of the fuel trucks?

And then look at all the ways the demo-rats are trying to take away ALL our guns . . . That should tell one just how badly we need to enforce our Second Amendment Rights.

Question For the Board...

The Second Amendment:


"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
When the words were written, the United States had just won a war of attrition against King George's army. The country's ability to quickly assemble militiamen who could grab their hunting rifles and harass small groups of British soldiers whenever they ventured out - while Washington's army essentially HID, avoiding a conflict that, if lost, would end the new nation - wore England down. After eight years, it concluded that it would never defeat reasonably armed civilian opponents it couldn't even find. It abandoned the effort. The second amendment was designed to ensure that the country could use the tactic again, should that be necessary. It had nothing to do with hunting, nothing to do with sport, nothing to do with defending oneself.

But, back then, there were no tanks, no helicopters, no bombers or drones, so a militia armed with hunting rifles could be a potent force. That's changed. My question is, IS THE SECOND AMENDMENT RELEVANT TODAY? Is it still "necessary to the security of a free State," or is it a relic that can no longer perform its intended function?
