This applies to a warrant situation, I assume. We're still protected under the constitution, for now. :thumbsup:

This is stupid. Warrant or not its destruction of private property.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." - 4th amendment to the US constitution.

I guess its all about what classifies as 'unreasonable' nowadays. I think breaking down your door and shooting your wife in the head cause she ran out of fear counts. Apparently the courts don't agree.

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." - 2nd amendment to the US constitution.

And this is why you shoot the f**king pig who bangs your door down.

Man I was talking to my poli sci teacher about the purpose of the 2nd amendment he says for the formation of miltia but he relates militia directly to the national guard. I belave the 2nd ammendment is in place to make sure of a well armed populas so that they are able to combat any oppression foreign or domestic.

[pisshead]

if you read the federalist papers, they make it quite clear that the 2nd amendment is for exactly what you said, to defend yourself against foreign and domestic enemies...not just for militias...

[stoner spirit]

you guys are morons...

Giving people who are probably armed a warning you are coming thru the door is just ample time for them to grab their shotgun and point it at the Door.

This is a good move

Speak for your self!
If anyone brakes down my door, they'll get my collection of knives stuck in their stomachs. I don't have any guns unfortunately... But have fun licking the grownd after your master's guards knock you down.
