QUOTE-HaHa .. Lets not get personal son .. This isn't a place for that .. No one should have explosives in their house period.. You obviously didn't read the article or watch the whole movie about this guy.. His house was on fire and he refused to leave .. a little mentally unbalanced is a fair thing to assume.. Please show me where in the Amendment rights it says we can have explosive's in our house? It doesn't .. I have many guns and a lot of ammo and would NEVER think it was ok for the government to take them from me .. I don't know if you have a wife and children but if so, you should be able to understand that it isn't proper for someone living next to you to have that kind of material in their home .. especially in his mental state .. Thanks for your input though .. Some of us understand the line between prepared and living in paranoid fear.. The line is not clear for all-QUOTE
Are you even familiar with the text of the second ammendment?
"A well regulated malitia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
Let me ask you one question:
Is a grenade an "arm" as dictated by the constitution?
The answer is yes! and if you are not allowed to own a certain type of armament then the right to bear arms has been infringed. Period. End of story. And you can't say or do anyting to make it otherwise. But obviously you forgot that, and for that what the hell makes you think you deserve your right to bear arms? You don't.
The text of the second ammendment calls for only TWO opinions: For or against. There is no maybe clause. If you're for it; fantastic, you obviously understand the reason its there, if you're against it, prepare to get your waste of a brain blown off when the next revolution rolls round.
The scope of the second ammendment stops short of mass destruction (i.e. nuclear and atomic devices), as it was only intended for us to be capable of rising against a tyranical force, and that doesn't exactly fall under genocide.
Explosives OTOH, would be great for battlefield combat, or destroying oppresive organizations with minimal collateral damage, therefore are in fact covered under the second amendment.
Sorry if you disagree, but to avoid being a hypocrite I suggest you sell any and all armament you own and buy a T-shirt with the word 'Victim' printed on it.
ETA- The only gun control that the constitution calls for is a person who is not 'Able-Bodied'. That comes from the constitutional definition of a militia. If this guy was indeed criminally or mentally insane, then i can understand the confiscation.
