Why we need the 2nd amendment. Battle of Athens

[jedstivers]

Got this as a email this morning.

McMinn Co. is between Chattanooga and Knoxville. There's something about this on
wikipedia.......and I suppose this is clips of the movie made in 1992 about the event.




Battle of Athens (TN) - 1946



I was completely unaware of this event that took place in Athens, TN in 1946. I did not know an armed revolt by WWII veterans ever took place during our lifetime. A very sobering video to say the least.

Now the second amendment is a little clearer.

Be sure to see the actual photos at the end showing the plaques describing the event.

It never ceases to amaze me how people think the "officials arrguments" for gun control are always right. People simply do not understand how important it is for citizens to be able to defend themselves against tyranny--government or not.

When deciding who to vote for I always place a candidates stand on gun control as the most important issue.
No-I do not believe the government knows best.
