Armed Revolt?

Yesterday on the Glenn Beck radio program he raised the question of whether or not Americans would revolt if the government took our guns away, or tired to. Its an interesting question, but the timing is a little off. The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution is not about "guns," its about "arms." Arms are the weapons of war that armies use. When Jefferson, Washington, and Adams wrote the Constitution they had all succeeded in using ARMS to overthrow a tyrannical government, and sought to protect for future citizens the ability to do the same thing if their new government ever became tyrannical. They distrusted governments, and rightly so. For a more in-depth analysis of the Constitution see 2nd Amendment. on The World According to Bob

The US government began taking our arms away in the 1930s, claiming to be "fighting crime." Since that time they have had government agencies who work every day taking the arms away from Americans, reducing our ability to overthrow a tyrannical government, them. Under the leadership of Clinton/Reno the FBI proved at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, that they are willing to shoot a man's children, wife, and even his dog if he possesses a weapon they don't like. In Waco, Texas, the FBI was willing to use poison gas ("CS" a form of Cyanide) banned by international treaty, WMD, to murder a whole village including men, women and children. In the past quarter century there have only been two governments that have used poison gas warfare on their own citizens, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and Bill Clinton's USA. The BATF and FBI murdered the village of almost 100 men, women, and children, because they possessed arms which were their protected Constitutional right citizens of the US. The FBI's and BATF's assault was criminal violation of the government's own fundamental law, its Constitution. In fact, the "F" in "BATF" is criminal by definition. It is a criminal violation of the US Constitution for the government to abridge the right of citizens to own and bear ARMS.

We aren't talking about hunting rifles either, the Constitution talks about regular military arms. In the language usage of the 18th century, "well regulated" meant to be kept in the manner of the "regulars" i.e. in the manner of the standing regular army. The US Constitution establishes the right of the people to own and bear regular military arms similar to those of the regular US Army, and the government is in criminal violation of its fundamental law every time they interfere with that right. The worst criminals in America are the gun thugs with blue suits and badges. They are the Gestapo of our police state government. They kill men, women, children and even shoot the dog.

This morning on one of the TV news shows they talked about a SCOTUS case involving a teenager who was chased by a gang of blue gun thugs because he was initially driving fast enough to be robbed by them. Since the teenager didn't stop and turn over his purse the blue gun thug gang eventually deliberately crashed into his vehicle causing him to be maimed for life, quadriplegic. Instead of defending their evil, the blue gun thug gang who destroyed the young man should all be caught and hanged by a mob of angry citizens. Of course they won't. Sheep. Baaaaaaahhh.

Would the people revolt if the government took away our arms? No, the people have gone meekly into servitude like so many sheep.
