What is the true importance, intent, and purpose of the 2nd Amendment? The history of the Revolutionary War makes that clear. The Boston Tea Party was a protest by the American colonists expressing dislike of British government policy. An Authoritarian government will tolerate no such thing. Though Adolf Hitler was not even born at this time, the British government already believed in the same philosophy of his famous quote that would come years later: In order to conquer a nation, you must first disarm its citizens. So, as a result of the Boston Tea Party protest, the government imposed a gun ban law upon the American colonists in order to control them and bring them into obedience without questioning. That is how Authoritarianism works and that is the goal of Socialist Liberals like Barack Obama. It was the refusal of the American colonists to comply with that gun ban(which would have forfeited their means of defense) and subsequent house to house gun confiscation attempts by the government that started the war that led to our independence. Thank God those brave men stood against their government. It is because of them, that this great free nation was founded. When the government came for their guns, the colonists popped a cap in their ass and the rest is history. This is what was fresh in the minds of our founding fathers when they sat down and wrote our Constitution at the end of the war. So now; What do you think is the true importance, intent, and purpose of the 2nd Amendment? Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. (though Winston Churchill mostly credited with this quote, actually it came from Spanish philosopher George Santayana)......GATOR
