Think about it: If you never need it for self defense or for the
militia purpose, or any other purpose, other than to prevent it from
being taken away...why would you "need" it in the first place?

Is that also your philosophy on insurance?

So, what kind of insurance would reflect a parallel to the quip? How
about, "This insurance policy isn't needed until someone tries to take
it away. Otherwise, you won't need it."

Great. An insurance policy that insures you against having your
insurance policy taken away. Otherwise, it isn't needed. One wonders
what value the insurance policy is, if you won't "need" it before then
-- not if you die first, or have a heart attack first, or have your
car stolen first.

What a great and useful insurance policy! Try thinking before engaging
your keyboard.

With the 2nd Amendment graven in stone (not simply a pesky
"suggestion")....I may have no "need" of it until the moment I do,
just like fire extinguishers and seat belts.

True enough. But that's not what the quip says.


Having that 2nd Amendment well known and graven in stone.....helps
prevent government from attempting to infringe the rest of the
Constitution. It helps..doesnt guarentee prevention.

It's an important symbol that distinguishes the basis of power in our
government from all others. Well, except for Yemen and East Timor,
maybe. d8-)

The Great Cull
will do just that after all the gun grabbers and mentally ill
Leftwingers are killed and bulldozed into mass graves in the very very
near future.

I thought that was the plan for last year? Did their GPS receivers run
out of charge?
