RE: RE: RE: What a quote from Mr. Nofziger...

Steve Brenneis responds to Behethland B. Clark:

"Times have changed since the American Revolution."

I beg to differ. We face a tyrannical aristocracy bigger and more devious than the English Kings ever managed.

Maybe you weren't aware of this, but the purpose of the second amendment is not to protect the rights of hunters. The purpose of the second amendment is to keep the government honest. If you read any of the founders who wrote on the subject, the entire reason for an armed populace is, as a last resort, to protect them from the government. You can dislike that all you want, but those are the facts. And those facts have no less weight or importance today than they did 216 years ago.

I'm sure Mr. Nofziger is being sarcastic about hanging a member of the government, but the threat would certainly go a long way toward a positive adjustment of their attitudes.
