Re:Pure rhetoric (Score 1)

Actually the point of the second amendment was that the Founders were aware that no government could guarantee freedom. THerefore when a threat arises each man would be equipped to deal with it. At no point did they write into the constituition a provision for limiting freedom in exchange for security. What exactly are you giving your freedom up for? what good is it doing? You can't just say, "Security" because that's an abstract concept. No one has proven to me how giving up my rights is going to provide me with any security. The government is going to fail and if we give up our freedom it will eventually become more dangerous than the terrorists. Remember this is the same government that has tried and failed to keep drugs out of this country for the past 60 to 70 years. How in the hell are they going to keep out Terrorists? They won't. We will be hit again and we will go through this same hysterical process. There is no easy solution, and giving up your freedom produces no magical results. It doesn't cause ANYTHING to happen. You just lose your freedom.
