Hide your guns, folks. It may not be much longer before the Federal Government comes to take them away. I wish I was kidding, but just the idea that the Second Amendment is even being debated in the Supreme Court today leaves me with my jaw on the floor — not because the gun rights of D.C. citizens shouldn’t be discussed, but by what many media and citizens groups and some judges and lawyers are actually being heard to state openly. Questioning the right of the People to self-defense through the possession of arms? Many people are trying to argue that individual citizens are not guaranteed the right to bear arms by the Second Amendment and this is why the gun ban in the District of Columbia should be upheld!
Say what?!
This even has gun advocates so alarmed that they are creating defenses that make it sound as if the 2nd Amendment is in danger of being completely revamped. Example from U.S. News & World Report:
Here’s a new argument against the D.C. gun ban, now before the Supreme Court: If people can’t own guns, then how are they supposed to train for the militia or military provided for in the Second Amendment? That’s the new pitch from a prominent hunters group backed by several former top Army generals who today filed a brief with the Supreme Court supporting the bid to overturn the gun ban in the nation’s capital.
There are two commonly interpreted versions of the 2nd Amendment. They read as follows (emphasis added):
The Second Amendment, as passed by the House and Senate, reads:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”The original and copies distributed to the states, and then ratified by them, had different capitalization and punctuation:
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.“
No matter how you capitalize it, the intent of the word “People” is and has been crystal-clear to me and millions of other Americans present and past: the People of the United States have the right to bear arms. Period. End of discussion.
Woe be unto those that show their evil intent naked for the Nation to see by striving to strip Americans of the means to defend ourselves against an already corrupt government. That is all I have to say.
Well, almost all: “Pass the Ammunition!”

I actually saw and heard a San Fransisco City Supervisor state on the news not long ago that the United States should have no military whatsoever.
“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
No matter how they may try to slice it and dice it, it says what it says. They had better not try to take away this right. This more than most things will unite the average American. There would be hell to pay for any court, supreme or not, to try and put a new spin on this one…
No matter what liberals say, the intent of the Second Amendment is that individuals should own and bear arms. After all, the owning and beaing of arms was the primary reason for the success of the American Revolution.
If they change the Constitution on this basis I suggest they will change it on other issues to suit the agenda of whoever is in power or is pulling the strings.
This could be just the beginning of unraveling your rights legally. An acid test?
Consider it together with Islam possibly being unconstitutional and some people are aware of this,,does it make more sense now?
Well folks this what the CFR Council on Foreign Relations and their NWO New World Order fear most. They must get the NAU North American Union in place to take over America and make our US Constitution and Bill of Rights made null and void. However they still face the most armed country on the planet USA. Knowledge of the NAU and it’s agenda are spreading like wild fire on the WWW. We Americans are Waking Up and figuring out that that our elected officials don’t give a damn about the citizens they represent. We are talking about the IRS and Federal Reserve being illegal both which the CFR controlled. Take our GUNS I welcome David Rockefeller to come get mine.

U.S. most armed country with 90 guns per 100 people

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has 90 guns for every 100 citizens, making it the most heavily armed society in the world, a report released on Tuesday said.
U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world’s 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies.
About 4.5 million of the 8 million new guns manufactured worldwide each year are purchased in the United States, it said.
“There is roughly one firearm for every seven people worldwide. Without the United States, though, this drops to about one firearm per 10 people,” it said.
India had the world’s second-largest civilian gun arsenal, with an estimated 46 million firearms outside law enforcement and the military, though this represented just four guns per 100 people there. China, ranked third with 40 million privately held guns, had 3 firearms per 100 people.
Germany, France, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil and Russia were next in the ranking of country’s overall civilian gun arsenals.
On a per-capita basis, Yemen had the second most heavily armed citizenry behind the United States, with 61 guns per 100 people, followed by Finland with 56, Switzerland with 46, Iraq with 39 and Serbia with 38.
France, Canada, Sweden, Austria and Germany were next, each with about 30 guns per 100 people, while many poorer countries often associated with violence ranked much lower. Nigeria, for instance, had just one gun per 100 people.
“Firearms are very unevenly distributed around the world. The image we have of certain regions such as Africa or Latin America being awash with weapons — these images are certainly misleading,” Small Arms Survey director Keith Krause said.
“Weapons ownership may be correlated with rising levels of wealth, and that means we need to think about future demand in parts of the world where economic growth is giving people larger disposable income,” he told a Geneva news conference.
The report, which relied on government data, surveys and media reports to estimate the size of world arsenals, estimated there were 650 million civilian firearms worldwide, and 225 million held by law enforcement and military forces.
Five years ago, the Small Arms Survey had estimated there were a total of just 640 million firearms globally.
“Civilian holdings of weapons worldwide are much larger than we previously believed,” Krause said, attributing the increase largely to better research and more data on weapon distribution networks.
Only about 12 percent of civilian weapons are thought to be registered with authorities.
