The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.  (waiting for attack) 

The  sword is more important than the shield, and skill is  more important than either.. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. 
  

1.  Don't pick a fight with an old man.  If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you. 
  
2.   If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck. 
  
3.   I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy. 
  
4.   When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away. 
  
5.  A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers.  The  reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was  carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'  
  
6.  The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a  lady commented on him wearing his  sidearm.   'Sheriff, I see you have your  pistol. Are you expecting  trouble?' 'No Ma'am.  If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my  shotgun.' 
  
7.   Beware the man who only has one gun.  HE  PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!! 
  
But wait, there's  more! 
  
I  was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house.  I said I did.  She said 'Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!'  To which I said, of course it's loaded, can't work without bullets!' She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into  your house?'  My reply was, 'No not at all.  I am not afraid of the house catching fire either,  but I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all  loaded too.'  To which I'll add, having a gun in the house that isn't loaded is  like having a car in the garage without gas in the tank.

You start with discrediting defense and advocating offense followed by quotes pertaining to defense.

Have you idea what the second amendment is really for ?

It is my understanding the the 2nd is all about defens of the country. That every person who can hold and shoot a firearm will then become part of the defense force to repel and invading force. There fore its quite important...

The second amendment is a written guarantee of the right to bear arms from government infringement !

Americans already suffered history of government forces oppressing them long before the war for independence, the 2A was extra assurance that government could not form a army so strong that the people could not overcome it should it be used against them.

Tench Coxe on the Second Amendment
Whereas civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as military forces, which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.
Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution



Rep. Elbridge Gerry,
What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. ...Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins


An instance within the memory of some of this house will show us how our militia may be destroyed. Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliment was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that is was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia. –– George Mason at the Virginia Ratification Convention, June 14, 1788

I shouldnt have said ALL ABOUT, but i do think that is the driving force behind why it is written. But my view makes it no less important. Its just perhaps a less revolutionary view...

Should Strat be pissed I'm lumped with him, or should I be pissed I'm lumped with Strat?

For the OP, your homework is to go read up on the 2nd, then do a quick write-up in the original post of what the second means to you.
