Steve barking at putting his 2 pence in on the NRA

The NRA or the national (w)rong association is fighting fighting against gun controll.
Their argument is the second amendment wrongly asserting what the meaning of a well regulated militia means. No you nimrods a well regulated militia does not mean individuals do not have the right to bear arms. Now I know that there are quotes from some of  our beloved writers of  our constition that claim that individuals have the not just the right to bear arms, but have a duty so as not  
to have a tyrannical government. Now I've checked google images to see if those quotes are accurate and I have yet to see any written quotes that our imaged from our founding fathers. Not letters, not newspaper accounts from our founding fathers on speaking about weapons. Show me the images as I have seen from other subjects that pretain to what our founding fathers believed in. NRA show me the images. Anybody can make up quotes to justify their prejudice.

What I do know is the most compelling reason we have a constition is because of a little thing called Shayes Rebellion. One of the most scary thing that happened was that the militia had to break into the Massachusetts armory to get it's guns.
The act of rebellion scared the sh*t out of our founding fathers. Most of our founding fathers decided that it might be a good idea to have one strong central government then a loose federation of thirteen different states.
Now lets look at another reason that those who state that our founding father's did believe that a well regulated militia was not that all it's armed citizens were part of a militia. There was this armed ins erection in Western Pennsylvania, know in history as the Wiskey Rebellion, Were President Washington brought in Militias from other states, and not one word from the other founding fathers about the rights of those in rebellion.

Now if one can't talk some sence into the gun lobby about what the real purpose of the second amendment, there is always the threat of a repeal.
No there is no real threat of  a repeal of the second amendment or the taking of guns from gun owners. The fact of the matter is that there are 300 million plus reasons why this will not happen.

Now I wouldn't be writing this if the NRA had done a better job teaching and insisting on gun safety.
The  tragity a Newtown probably would not have happened if the guns had been locked up.
If I'm not mistaken Columbine the guns that were used were stolen from the parents.

I'm not so convinced that having a gun at home stop home invasions, studies before 1996 suggest that
having a gun a home doesn't protect the home like is claimed by the NRA and the stories that are told of how those who killed, wounded, or scared away invaders are really dog bites man stories.
