a BUNCH of guns and have always had at least one since the age of 7 (55 years ago), but I do not maintain that having them is an absolute constitutional right. Having said that, however, it seems to me there may come a day, if it isn't already here, that liberals/progressives might begin to wish they had one or more, given what is happening to the Bill of Rights. Interpret them (esp. the 2nd) any way you want, it conceivably could come down to the point of defending what remains of them by force. After all, that's how we got them in the first place.

Now, in case Mr. ASScrack is watching, I'm not advocating the violent overthrow of the government, just speculating on possibilities.

This particular Old Phart is ready and willing to defend his constitutionally derived rights by whatever means necessary. It ain't like I'm gonna be around all that much longer anyway...
