When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
--- Thomas Jefferson
"How a politician stands on the Second Amendment tells you how he or she views you as an individual... as a trustworthy and productive citizen, or as part of an unruly crowd that needs to be lorded over, controlled, supervised, and taken care of."
--- Rep. Suzanna Gratia Hupp (R-TX)
The Democrats are all bantering about universal health care. If they get control be ready for fat taxes, mandatory smoking cession classes, forced diets and exercise on overweight persons, and other health-Nazi mandates on how we can run our own lives. I also see this as a back-door attempt to gut the Second Amendment because many anti-freedom liberals claim that firearms are a public health issue. Therefore what would keep the government from withholding health care from any home that has guns in it or hold the owners of a discharged firearm completely liable for injuries? It would not make any difference if a firearm was accidently fired, or used in self defense, or even if stolen and used in a later crime. The liability would still be there and gun owner could lose everything they own in criminal and civil lawsuits to recover health costs of behalf of the victims. The Second Amendment is still there but nobody will be able to exercise it. We already know the reason why the liberals want to band private firearms; it is not for safety of children or health issues. It is to disarm us so we are at the mercy of the government with no way to fight back. Just like all oppressive governments have done through out history.
