It wouldn't be fair to arm the people with slingshots when the police have guns. The 2nd amendment is not only about self defense. It is mainly the people's defense against a tyrannical government.

HUH! If you are worried about a fire power deficiency between citizens and police you scare me.

I worry about anarchist, criminals, radicals, terrorist and conquerors. Never worried about police or our armed forces.

I would venture to bet shopsmith just wants to promote woodworking, not politics.

However, take away guns and the law abiding lose the guns and those who break the law keep them.
Also, outlawing stuff never works well, look at prohibition. If people want it, they find ways to get it. It only stops the law abiding (those who I want to have guns)

That's for sure.

A few years back ammunition was in real short supply, it was rumored that his Highness had something to do with it, cause the 2nd amendment sez you have the right to bare, arms, nothing in it sez you can have ammo for your firearm.

Two things to remember, executive orders are only good as long as the person that issued them is in office. They can be rescinded by the next President. God help us if that is Hillary. Also the executive order can not spend any of our (tax payers) money to implement them unless approved by congress

While I'd most likely agree with Erlover's post regarding Dear Leader, I'm not sure, but it would seem that a privately owned forum, or any private business for that matter, has no obligation to protect anyone's free speech rights.

Gene, I think you've nailed it. Last time I looked, Shopsmith Inc. isn't Congress.
(If that doesn't make sense, please re-read the First Amendment.)

From what I've heard, the right to "bear" arms, means to have a working firearm.

Without ammunition, a gun is just a club.

Oh I thought I was going to go bear hunting to get a pair of bear arms to satify my 2nd ammendment rights... I guess I'll just have to settle for a gun and ammo to get my bear arms later.
