If one were to be a student of the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers, one would come to the conclusion that the populace should be allowed the same access to arms and munitions as the military/government. In essense, ANY law restricting access of weapons to the population is unconstitutional and therefore illegal. The Second Amendment was NOT put in place to guarantee the ability to hunt. It was NOT put in place to guarantee the ability to defend against criminals. It WAS put in place to guarantee the ability to defend the populace against a government acting in an over-reaching and tyrannical manner. The Second Amendment put in place the FOURTH branch of the government, The PEOPLE, armed and able to defend the Constitution on its own terms. We need to defend the Second in order to protect the other nine! .... Direct from the Ministry of Silly Walks --- MultiMail/Linux v0.49 þ Synchronet þ The Lost Chord BBS - Cheyenne, WY .

Worth noting that civilian arms dealers have jets with missiles... they sell to the US (and Australia, Israel, etc) but they are civilian companies. -- Michael J.
