Does anyone know what this is, or why it's significant today?
Hint, it's engraved above the chamber on this.
What is this? It's an arisaka, a real weapon of war used by the Japanese military in the second world war.
It's not made to look like a military grade weapon it is or was a military grade weapon.
Now back to the engraving, it's a chrysanthemum(spelling,get over it).
The symbol of the emperor, making the rifle the property of the emperor.
It was considered dishonorable for your rifle to fall into enemy hands with the flower (too lazy to look up spelling, get over it) intact it would bring shame on you, your family, and the emperor for you to let that happen.
This sounds like tyranny to me, govt property is more important than the human carrying it. Does it sound like tyranny to you? Good we are in agreement.
This kind of government was what the second amendment was written for.
Don't give me crap about the 2A was in the 1780s , and WW2 was in the 1930s/40s. I don't care tyranny is tyranny whenever it happens get over it.
Tyranny thrives when the citizens/subjects, are weak and defenseless.
It doesn't hurt to have the citizens/subjects to be in informed/ ignorant.
My opinion, the 2A wasn't written so we could overthrow our government in case it should become a tyrannical govt. It was so any would be tyrant would think twice before going down that road.
Ignorant and free can never be.
Some attribute this to Thomas Jefferson, others disagree, I personally don't care who said it, it's true the uniformed are easily manipulated.
People who are easily manipulated will gladly march to protest the loss of rights they haven't lost, and some will even march to insist that the government they call tyrannical take more of their rights away.
Education begins at home, if you have children teach them about our history and our form of govt. They won't get it at school.
Our culture is only one generation thick, if our next generation isn't taught the truth our culture and way of life ends with us.
Peace out.
