Second Amendment and Stinger Missiles

Tails of the Gun Missiles

“ What you'll see is a fully armored Syrian tank being hit by an Israeli laser-guided, steel-penetrating, phosphorous-filled "hand held" rocket. The rocket is small, very portable and is a tightly controlled weapon. Each one is accounted  for when they are checked out and back in. There must be no fewer than 2  soldiers present to verify the use, one must be a senior officer with a  minimum of 10 years military service.                          This  tank was headed for one of Israel 's settlements. "Skyhawker Doug" sent this as an example of gun porn, and it is that.  It also prompts me to once again discuss the citizen soldier's right under the Second Amendment.  The Founders unarguably instructed that we keep a wary eye on those who govern us, and to remove them, by force if necessary, if they become tyrannical. It was to that end they did Amendment # 2, the express right to arm ourselves.  I shan't conjecture whether that time has arrived  (but it prolly is way past that); I will dwell on something else.  Our right to own a musket for was okay in 1776, because that's all the gummint could muster against its citizenry.  Not today.  Here we are, many of us,  still fighting the battle to even own guns, when the debate ought to be missile ownership.  And no, I don't mean Wal-Mart selling Stingers to Tom, Dick, or Harry.  But organized citizen militias (of which Maryland now has none) ought have that opportunity.  Tanks, choppers and howitzers too. I know its a radical idea, and that's the shame of it.  ”
