“And 6% of gun owners probably isn’t enough to do the job.” Well, there are about 80 million gun owners in America (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_gun_owners_are_there_in_the_United_States_of_America). Multiply that by 6% and you get: .06(80000000) = 4,800,000 gun owners fighting for their gun rights. The US armed forces has approximately 2,475,967 troops including coast guard, reserves, and para military (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_soldiers_are_in_the_US_military). That gives US gun owners 2 to one odds, not bad in my book.

Just exactly what right did Alan Gura help restore? Whoopie, the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right but you must pay a fee, beg permission from the Government and in the case of Mr. Heller, try about six times before you get your permit. Oh and don’t forget that reasonable restrictions are just fine with no definition of what might be reasonable so that every single anti-gun law must be adjudicated at the cost of man years or decades and much treasure. I’m 99.999 percent sure that that is not what the authors of the Second Amendment had in mind when the wrote the words “shall not be infringed.” I checked my eighteenth century dictionary and thesaurus and in no way could I get reasonable restrictions to match. Also please remember that aggressive resistance to usurpations of authority is not the same as unwarranted violence. It may not be the time for such resistance but when elected officials are ignoring the governed and violating the Constitution of the United States with impunity, the time is likely not far away. Compare what our elected officials are doing today with the injuries suffered by the colonies at the hands of King George III.

Having part of a right is better than none of it. What? Are you kidding? What other rights are you willing to compromise on? How much of a right is worth fighting for? The reason we have lost our rights is because we are too apathetic and lazy to stand and protect them. If an Assault Weapons Ban passes we hear: oh well, we still have our shotguns and hunting rifles. If the NFL or MLB goes on strike all hell breaks loose and we demand that Congress get involved. Our founding fathers would be so proud.

I rarely agree with Mike but I’d die fighting to protect his right to say what he wishes. I wouldn’t even want to get a bruise fighting for the rights of someone willing to compromise them away.

You have small minds and probably small penises, so you hold up your big guns and threaten with them.

You are not the defenders of America, you are its biggest threat.

Brave men are reasonable. You are cowards – especially you Mr. V. The kooks who follow your advice and kill are your responsibility, and you will pay for their actions either in this world or undoubtedly in the next.

Is it any surprise that it’s some backward racist hick from Alabama making these statements? Idiots like this are a throwback in America and a the shrinking minority of the tea bagging GOP. Greedy, Old & Pathetic! Come to Los Angeles and try and throw a brick through my window you bigoted pea brained old man! You just another southern racist thug and no different then the KKK! Wither and die!

Mike Vanderboegh, like most neocon fascist types I have had the displeasure of talking *at*, is obviously a coward who fancies himself a king. Too afraid to *lead* from the front by raising his own gun and starting a revolution, while sitting back in his government-funded crappy little duplex, pleading for others to throw bricks. Takes alot of courage to incite others to throw bricks through windows. Yeah. Broken glass is SURE to cause the government to pause. Not.
I don’t know the cowardly clown known as Mike Vanderboegh, but I know many who vomit the same Timothy McVeigh-inspired nonsense. Most never served this country in uniform. Most have their own hands out to grab government funds, just as Mike is doing, while criticizing the process and the government. Most of these cruds have done little, firsthand, to add to this country in any constructive manner. Most are too stupid and selfish to contribute to the country in any significant way, nor do they see any need to. And yes, most are cowards who cling to their Bibles and their guns.
If there is a God, he has a special place in Hell reserved for these cowardly hypocrites.

Please excuse me, I am placing these comments in reference to Mr. Vanderboegh who needs to be arrested for inciting people to domestic terrorism. I am betting his social security disability is a mental one because he certainly looks more than healthy and well fed.

You are a pathetic leach on this system ,”Anti government” fat f*** that takes social security disability rather than work like a decent American. I and my family own guns, too and we will clean them and train them on you and people like you. We will be ready. My family fought for this country since the revolution. Do not think we will give it over to pigs like you.
