i think using hitler as an example for why a country should have guns is moronic. if you have a guy with hitler's agenda coming to power, i think you have bigger problems than guns
The founders were brilliant men, they had foresight and understood that history always repeats itself, whether it's the year 1800 or 2100, the threat of tyranny taking away our freedom will always exist... that's why it's so great that our country has a constitution protecting our rights...

We just happen to be a long way past obtaining our liberty that most of us have become complacent and apathetic, thinking everything is just fine and that nothing bad could ever possibly happen in the future.
