The original idea of the second amendment is to defend oneself against governmental oppression
Except that is never the case and has never been the case either.
Not one single Gun Fetishist lifted a firearm to protect the rights of Padilla.
It hasn't been the case because there are millions of armed Americans with plenty of reprisals to give out. If we ban guns then we may end up like Russia where not we, but the state will be the final authority on all things. After all, what can the average Russian do except be conned into a communist agenda? That is the nightmare scenario our founding fathers fought so hard to escape from.
Your scare tactic lacks credibility. Has that happened in Australia or Japan or any of the other nations that have sane gun laws?
Australian gun crime is on the rise...they just had a 15 year old shoot a police officer with a hand gun.....do you think he got that legally? And they have seen a 50% increase in gun crime.
Japan...is a police state...they keep gun crime down with long prison sentences and vast police and prosecutorial powers that you lefties would never want here...do you want police to be able to search you whenever they want...go into your homes 2 times a year, or whenever they decide they want to ..and you can't stop them?
And do you want the prosecutors to have the power Japanese prosecutors have.....?
I doubt it.
