Puck can correct me if I am wrong, but without the 2nd Amendment we would live under a tyrannical government and not a democratic republic.
Like I said, I believe the 2nd Amendment is our FIRST freedom.
A repeal of the 2nd Amendment does not directly mean we then live under a dictator... But it would remove a MAJOR obstacle to any aspiring dictator.
Now ask me if I think the left will openly try to outright repeal the 2nd Amendment? Not likely. It would be political suicide at best, or lead to a real civil war at worst. No, they re going tp pick at it. They are going to use the courts, like they always do with their really radical stuff, because they know they could never get any of it past the voters. That is the real shame. I reckon that is why the "cost of freedom is eternal vigilence".
Finally, like I have said before, I am not worried. If my country chooses to make me a criminal for owning certain inanimate objects, so be it. There are MILLIONS of people who share my feelings on this particular issue. I would rather die free than live a slave.
