Below are excerpts from an article on the 2A by Gary North, an investment sort of guy.
There are two main extremes in the debate over guns. The gun control people are basically worshippers of the state. They grovel before the image of the state. They believe in the state...
...At the other extreme is the private militia crowd. They think that the ownership of weapons is basic to conducting a new American Revolution. They think that that their ownership of weapons will in some way slow down the state...
...Here is reality. The ownership of guns is mostly symbolic most of the time. The gun as a symbol says this: the state is not God. The state is not finally sovereign. Citizens are sovereign under God, and they possess the right to bear arms as a mark of this sovereignty...
...The correct goal is to wait for the federal government to go bankrupt before it bankrupts us. It will go bankrupt. It is not God...
...In the political vacuum that will appear in the aftermath of that national bankruptcy, armed citizens with economic assets and economic and political skills will be in a position to pick up the pieces. Local armed citizens will become the back-up of the local police, which local citizens will elect...
That was just to wet your whistle. Please read the rest at the link.

I look forward to Gary North's articles. He's perceptive and insightful. I'm not saying he's always right; but, he sees economic items in ways you don't get from the lamestream media. Definitely worth reading. He has his own website beyond the blog linked above, and his articles frequently appear on LewRockwell.com, which is a must for any freedom-minded individual.
