Do you think the main reason the US has never been invaded is because Americans have the right to bear arms?
You can bet your last dollar. In addition to the Active duty Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, there are 1,000,000 National Guard members who are trained but working civilian jobs. Add to that the 1,300,000 retired military members, as well as 9 million veterans over the age of 65, 7.6 million Vietnam Veterans, that's 18million so far. Let's toss in all the retired Law enforcement officers from 50 states and all agencies of the Federal government. These are not the minute men of 1776, these are professionals trained in tactical offense and defense. As a nation we will be defended to the death by these professionals who will always stand when necessary to defend our country. Leaving out the licensed hunters, sport shooters, and individuals such as red necks, and gang bangers who are armed and ready to answer the call, that still a number that dwarfs the military manpower in many nations. There are those who feel that that is exactly why the Current administration is so adamant about taking away our gun rights. When the people are powerless to defend themselves, they will be fully subserviant to the government who will rule them.

Pick a law people might break because they think it is wrong?
Okay. This is tricky. What is a law, that you would break, because you think it is wrong. For example, Rosa Parks sat in the front of the bus, because she thought the law making her sit in the back was wrong. I think the age limit for drinking is wrong. Why should we be able to go to war and die, and smoke cigarettes, at 18 - but we can't have a beer until we're 21? But I wouldn't go and get drunk because I think it's wrong. Another thing, I think sending a 18 year old off to jail for having sex with a 17 year old significant other is stupid. But I'm not going to go and have sex with people over 18 to prove a point. THAT'S STUPID. So... anyone?
