Guns killing people, is like Alfas driving drunk

As I said to Greg offline, the 2nd amendment was (and is) a protection 
against the tyranny of the government.   It was born and given breath in the 
revolution against a distant government that overtaxed the population and 
provided little to the colonists that fed it.

"Treason", on the other hand, is when your government sells secrets to a 
foreign power, or can be bribed to openly disobey the laws of the governed.  
Let's see: we have no ICBMs or any other defense against an incoming nuclear 
missile that probably has "Designed (including guidance and encryption 
technology)in the USA", on it; our neutron bomb secrets have been tested by a 
foreign government; our submarines cannot respond to an attack unless we take 
the first hit - and then only if the proper codes are sent from our 
degenerate-in-chief; gun runners, drug dealers, and Triad gangsters can buy 
their way into the Whitehouse, and with blessing,  disperse their wares on 
the streets where you live; soon both ends of the Panama Canal will be 
occupied by China, and we of course have open borders to accommodate all 
those who might need a better place to do business, or live, or take some of 
our SSI - and maybe peddle some of their agriculture.   Yeah, I feel safe.  

When the government does the job WE the people created it for, we can talk.

Sorry.
