i read it - did you read it? before copyingh and pasting something I would make sure I at least glance over it...

i do not see reference to the US government as being tyrant (even though some may say otherwise)... All references here are made to the king whose bones are long turned into dust... that document, while presents a true historical value and base for our nation has long lost its teeth...

a quarter of millenia later we have moved on - the passage on the slavery, while being part of the constitution has been amended as not reflecting the true nature of all men being EQUAL... So, it is possible to adjust the understanding of centuries old document to reflect today's environment...

so, the notion, that we NEED guns to correct OUR government is ridiculous, unless you are siding with our enemies... we correct our government by electing the officials that represent our views (granted, those officials get carried away in Washington't politics and act in manner not consistent with our choices). But to remove them from the power, we do not resort to guns, we use the representational democracy (i would prefer direct democracy)...

My point is, even if our ancentors used to carve writings in stone using chisels, we do not have to do the same, we have pens, paper, for God's sake, we have those finger-touchy pads that we can write with...

Just because during our ancentors' times there was a great risk of a tyrant (Napoleon Banaparte becoming an Emperor of the French Republic circa 1800), now our nation is too strong for such a risk... we do not resort to Reign of Terror a la Robiespierre.. those examples were vivid before our eyes bsck in the XVIII century, we needed to make sure nothing like that happens on our land... guns, being one of those things...

besides, the constitution has been amended several times after the slavery, in more recent times - before 1920 (give or take 5 years, i just don't remember the date) the women could not vote... yeah... right... let me tell my wife that I, as a man, more superior to her... hahaha

my point - if something is outdated, it needs to updated - you are not using T-model Ford as your daily driver, are you?
