Where in the constitution is the verbiage about citizens being armed to fight an oppressive government?
You really need to read some history. No offense, but wow...

No disrespect but here is a good starting point - http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/gun-q...unding-fathers

It doesn't have to be spelled out in the constitution... The Declaration of Independence gives a pretty clear idea of what the founders thought..

The theory that the populous should be armed as the military is out the window...please google "drones".
You can buy your own drones called remote control airplanes, they even can be had with cameras.... The idea wasn't that someone was going to provide you with all this for free, but if you have the funds and the freedom of choice then how you spent it was up to you... So if you have the money you could have your drone... We are so use to living in a hyper regulated world it seems we have forgotten much...

Quote:
I can think of 5-10 mass shootings in the past 5 yrs without looking them up. can you come up with that many justifiable self-defense scenarios using the same type of firepower?
Your question is loaded... First if a CCW carrier is successful involved in some such incident at the start of the mass whatever then its over before it starts and the media rarely says a peep. There are many pro gun resources that print these stories and they are factual.

Second http://easybakegunclub.com/news/1943...oncealed-.html

Third here is the 2A -"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." See any thing talking about regulation? I understand rights have limits but that pesky "shall not be infringed" seems fairly clear.

Freedom is expensive and their is no guarantee of complete and total safety only the promise that you do have the right to defend yourself....
