No amount of automatic rifles can replace that. 1. Automatic weapons falls into the “realm” of the founding father’s intent, because the only way you can fight a government is if you are equally armed. 2. A large amount of automatic rifles will help the large marjority of people take on the government. What you should have said was “No amount of muzzle loaders can help”. Everyone knows the saying, “Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.” When you are taking on a government army, consisting of trained professionals with a mechanized infantry, you need every edge you can get. That was the intent of our founding fathers - for the government to be afraid of its people, not for the people to be afraid of its governement. And you would be afraid if Bush decided that Marshal Law was the only way to seek out the terrorists. Just because we live in a society that is relatively safe from its government, doesn’t mean that we will always be that way. If we don’t learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gun-control/18174)._
