American's right to bear arms is not based on the need to protect oneselves from criminals, but the need to keep a corrupt government in line. Frankly, handguns aren't going to do that! Neither are assault weapons, even fully automatic ones, against a government that has a large well trained standing army with automatic weapons, bazookas, howitzers, tanks, fighter planes, attack submarines, and atomic weapons.

Although you know what? The constitution doesn't give us the right to ammunition. Maybe they should just ban ammo, and let us carry any kind of weapon we want.
