Forgive me, I feel a slight need to apologize and explain.
Some might take my "V" joke offensively. Usually I simply wouldn't care. After all, it's a JOKE.
However, being American I know there is a lot of Anti-American views out there, and some might see this as another 'stupid, lazy American joking about things that should not be joked about' kind of thing.
What I mean by the joke is that obviously situations are to the point that Revolution is contemplated. Not all Revolution involves Wars between Governments, mind you. In fact, in the best ones... nary a shot is fired.
Which equates to the United States and our 2nd Amendment that so many Non-Americans seem so opposed to.
We have the 2nd so that all Americans can bear arms to form Militias to rise up against a Tyrannical US Government.
Yes, our Founding Fathers gave us an "In case of Emergency, break glass" statute in the very Constitution they created, in case what they created was one day bastardized into something Corrupt and Tyrannical (which some would argue has already happened).
Which means, for Americans, if we allow the 2nd (or any of the Constitution, really) to be taken away, we have no real recourse against a Tyrant Nation... and one thing all Tyrants have done in History is disarm the populace. Our Founding Fathers had the foresight to realize this, and what is meant to be our 'Bat Signal' to rise up is any case in which the US Government tries to take away our Right to Bear Arms.
They also didn't want Farmer John bringing a pitch fork and Citizen Black Crow bringing a bow, they wanted the Militias to be formed with people who had Arms of the proper 'period' or time. In other words, as our Military acquires greater technology, our 2nd gives us the right to 'arms race' with them in Personal Weapons. Which is why the "Do you need a Machine Gun to Deer Hunt" attack is so stupid... because the 2nd isn't about freaking Hunting, it's about forming Militias with privately owned Arms (which includes Armor, by the way) to rise up against a Corrupt Government.
Which brings us back to EU. Some feel they have a Tyrannical grasp, and Revolution is afoot (we do hope Peaceful Revolution, it's the best kind but not always possible). Hence my "V" joke.
Long explanation, sorry. Back on point. :D
