[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1123835, member: 14668"] 1.The Constitution was written and ratified [I]before[/I] the Whiskey rebellion, not [I]after[/I]. If the Founding Fathers did not want[B] the people [/B]to be armed, then they wouldnt have put the phrase "the right of [B]the people[/B] to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" into the Second Amendment. 2. Our Constitution and our government is intended to be a system of [I]checks and balances[/I]. An armed population is [I]part[/I] of that system. The government [I]should[/I] fear an armed citizenry. Massacres and totalitarian regimes occur when governments are given a monopoly of force over their people. Just ask the Chinese who were at Tianamen Square, or the Eastern Europeans who spent 50 years under Soviet domination during the Cold War. [/QUOTE]
