That sounds true, but why is it that citizens cannot own the same weapons (guns) as the government? How can they, under the constitution, make laws that disallow the ownership by citizens of assault rifles, etc.?

It seems to me that we would be outgunned under Obama's tyrany - if he takes it over the line, big time.

That and I'm not too sure how well The Armed Forces would hold together if our sons & daughters were told to turn their guns against family and friends.
