Without freedom, life is a sentence.  There is, however, a price for our
freedoms.  To ensure that the innocent are not frequently imprisioned some
guilty will be set free.  To ensure that we may be able to have private
discussions some criminal activies will go undetected.  But it seems many
of my fellow citizens, preferring a little temporary security, don't want
to let me have my freedoms.  They are attempting to imprision me and other
freedom loving citizens in their nanny state.  Such attempts should be met
with lethal force.

Most firearm regulations are unconstitutional and those who view the
Constitution as more than a 'living document' which can be freely
interpreted to suit the current political fancy know better.

On the contrary it is just those sorts of weapons with demonstratable
military application which are covered by the 2nd Amendment.  See, in
particular, the Miller vs. U.S. decision in
