The article was given full attribution with an accompanying link. This satisfies Fair Use. The use was also not of a commercial nature and was for educational purposes.

By trying to link firearms to a possible usage of same for domestic unrest, or the use of same against domestic unrest, is the issue.

Yes, the Constitution and Bill of Rights were written with an eye towards the possible use of firearms against a tyrannical government. The article calls to question as to whether that time is nigh.

The first part of the article touts the widespread purchasing phenomenon after Obama's election; and the second part attempts to tie the widespread anger over the current policies to that phenomenon.

The end game is clear as the writer obviously believes that there are too many firearms out there -- with more being purchased every day. This flies in the face of his previous rant to the contrary (LINK).

As these types of "observations" and calls for tighter controls increase, it surely will have an effect on our civil rights. I didn't think it would be necessary to point that out when I posted the thread.
