Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Fedralist Papers," If the representatives of the people betray their constituents,there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self defense" which is paramount to all positive forms of government. he later wrote in the same document, regarding usurpations, the citizen must rush tumultuously to arms, without system,without concert,without resource, except in their courage and despair.
In times of upevial and usurpations of the constitution the people of the state or country, were and are considered the last line of defense, and therefore considered the militia, therefore in keeping with that system of defense the maintenance of all personally owned firearms is necessary. Without the people as a militia the government is free to impose whatever restictions it feels is necessary without fearing any retaliation from the people that placed them in power. We would otherwise become subjects not citizens! If you hold the belief that our government doesn't want your firearms and I mean all of them then you are living in a world of denial. To every problem there is a soulution, and if you not part of the solution then you are part of the problem! Those of you arguing for limits on any firearm, which side of the above statement are you on? You can't have it both ways.
Why has no child died in a school fire in the last 50 years? because we have fire drills in schools, we also have fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems and fireman that come to the schools and train kids and teachers how to react in that type of emergency. Schools have no such training for reaction to situations like what happened in Connecticut! Why Not?
Because they are in denial, they would rather take away all firearms instead of training young kids and teachers how to deal with extreme situations like this. Does anyone think that a school could be better designed to fend off attacks like this?
How about reinforced concrete walls that a bullet wouldn't penetrate and likewise a bullet proof door and single point entry to each class room, how about an electronic gate that isolates the students from the entrance in an emergency the gate is activated and locks down the school and isolates the shooter to a smaller area. Ther are a ton of methods we could utilize but government both local and federal only see one methodology to solve the problem. The Government has only one point of view, if we remove the gun problem solved!
