Without The Second Amendment, This Is What Would Happen In America

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."

The above quote is from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. Look at the words and read them carefully America. This one quote tells the tale of a disarmed, helpless population at the mercy of a brutal communist dictator that had a vision for a better world. In the final days, after years of simply going along and not understanding the implications of what was happening in their country, the Russian peasants trembling in fear, finally understood. Their time was up, there was no better world, only death.

The 2nd Amendment is, as are the other Amendments, dangerous. Why? Because private property exists without the 2nd Amendment. All the Amendments are dangerous because they entice people to depend on legal writings. The people should be depending on common law - the local jury in Federal District Court (not U.S. District Court) - see Corpus Juris Secundum, vol. 25, section 334. The Amendments are like civil law. The jury is like common law. Common law properly used ALWAYS overcomes civil law in America - Russian law is civil law. If there were no Amendments, the people would have freedom, like no taxes, like many private post offices, like freedom to smoke weed, like traffic laws that were warnings, and most of all, REAL damages for intentional injury done.
