Ive been shot. .38 special+ with hollow point.... 25 grains shy of being a .357 magnum ... at arms length.

Im still against gun laws.

Someone posted earlier that carrying a pistol and a submachine gun are two completely different things. I disagree with a certain part of that logic.

The reason why guns were ever legal in the United States to begin with were very very simple. Not just to protect you and your loved ones and your/their property but to protect you and them from TYRANNY.

They gave you the right to bear Arms to protect you from your own GOVERNMENT. Thats a fact. Look at all the crap our Forefathers had to go through to get out from under the tyranny of the English Crown.

They had to revolt by force of arms. They gave you the right to do the same if you think the goverment needs to be changed. Ive heard all the crap about the best revolution is by VOTING, BULL!!! It doesnt work like that. Anyone with half a brain knows that the powers that be want to stay in power. They will do anything to acheive that. They wish to preserve their soft pampered jet set way of life. No one in power relinquishes freely.

Ok you can vote out the old guy and bring in the new guy. He starts out wanting to fight the system. It doesnt take long for him to BECOME part of the system he so dispised.

To quote Thomas Jefferson: A government needs a revolution every 20 years to keep it honest.

They wanted George Washington to be KING. He refused saying something to the effect of "What do you think I was just fighting against???"

So we dont end up with a bunch of POWER FREAKS in control of our daily lives. SHEESH. I watched CNET one day and they were argueing about SHOWERHEAD Pressure!!! Do you need to be told how much water pressure you can have when you take a shower???? Why should we spend our tax money discussing such dumb crap???? Its a waste of time AND money. Politicians make damn good money and the perks are even better. Free helicopter rides anytime they want em... at our expense.

Back to what I disagree with about pistols and sub machine guns. If the goverment has machine guns and tanks and submachine guns and F-16s why cant WE the public have them too???? If its time for a revolution we need to be on equal footing just like during the Revolutionary War.

Im not saying that Im a revolutionary. Far from it. But I think when the time comes... You need to fight fire with fire. Machine guns legally obtained and responsibly kept shouldnt be illegal. The Powers that BE see that as a threat to their way of life. They dont like change unless they are the ones to instigate it. So they control how we fight when the people have had enough and are forced to revolt.

Im completely atgainst gun laws. Fully or semi automatic. Makes no difference to me. They are violating your right as an American by telling you what kind of gun you can own. Next they'll be telling you what Brand and model you can own.

FYI Texas is the only state that can legally succeed from the Union. Texas should. If Texas does succeed Ill be on the next flight back home.
