All Hail the Second Amendment

Must be another one of those "responsible" gun owners we keep hearing about.

(CNN) -- A man was fatally wounded when his 4-year-old son fired a gun he found while they were visiting a residence in Prescott Valley, Arizona, officials said.

The thing that gets me about the "we need our guns to protect us from a tyrannical government" is how ridiculous it is in reality. Even if Obama was the evil, cruel dictator that conservatives claim he is and decided to take Joe Bob Sixpack's land, what's Joe Bob gonna do about it? What good is having a couple of AR-15's and a shotgun against battalions of soldiers backed up by tanks, artillery, bomber aircraft, attack helicopters, etc? Think of it even on a smaller scale: When's the last time an armed standoff with police ended with the police just giving up because the suspect was armed? Probably never once. Once they have you surrounded, you're either going to give up or die anyway. Your guns would only prolong the situation. If the military is knocking at your door, your chances are even slimmer.

The only way the "guns protect us from tyranny" works is on a very large scale, where a majority of Americans would be armed and pissed off at the government and at best would be able to put up a guerrilla resistance before being crushed. But right now it only appears to be a minority who is just pissed off because the current president is black. It's not that the "sheeple" need to "wake up," it's that they are awake and realize that the ones who are claiming the government is full of tyranny are the ones who if they themselves were able to take over and be in charge would be far worse than any imagined tyrant.

Also, only a minority of the crazy gun fondlers have more than a couple of guns at their disposal.

Will they be more or less upset in 2016 when Hillary begins her 8 year administration?

Hopefully a lot of them will have died off.

I'm guessing that if Hillary runs and wins the presidency, the butthurt we saw after the 2012 elections will be nothing compared to 2016. If they can't handle a black man in the White House for 8 years, how do you think they'll deal with a woman? Especially Hillary, of all women?

I honestly don't know. On one hand, Hillary is about as demonic to them as Obama, and she is a woman. On the other hand, you can't really go with the foreign Muslim nigger route.

Now, if it was a black woman, you might get a few cletuses to actually rise again.

More death from the gun nuts.....

Crocker told police the shooting came as the culmination of a dispute over whether the group was trespassing or not, and he fired after a man approached him with rocks in his hands. Paul Dart wasn’t the one with the rocks.

“I just shot the one closest to me,” Crocker said, according to police.

Yep. Saved us from another "tyrant."

6,470 bodies in the pile and no one gives a flying fuck.

Closing in on the death toll at Iwo Jima.
