DC Gun Ban Ruled Unconstitutional

Since I live in Canada I really don't know what its like to have the right to bear arms in public. But I just can't see it been a good thing. I mean at least here if you get into a bad fight your are most lickley just going to get the crap beat out of you not shot. But I can also see how the mentality of needing fire arms has arrisen. The america's have never been a really freindly place to settle in, historicaly. At first you had the natives that were a causing problems, then foreign powers been overly oppressive, and now the threat of terrorists. The only major problem I find is that it is far to easy to just shoot some one that to figure out why they are angry/disagree with you in the first place. As for needing arms so you can form a milita against the government just remember most of the successful revolutions historicly have been completed with rebels/freedome fighters using weapons significantly less advanced than the current people in power. Most of the time its just a matter of numbers. And as for running around with swords :P I think it should go back to that wars were much more personal when you actualy got to see the bugger that was going to chop your head off.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the correction, I was thinking a bit furthure back in history myself. It is true that in the more modern times the revolutionaries have been similarly equiped as the people in power. As for the American Revolution don't forget you also had a foreign government helping.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
