It seems like your missing the point of the second amendment though. It has everything to do with the fact that our founding fathers seen this coming and made every effort in giving us the tools to stop it should we ever have to. Its protection against GOV Tyranny.FTR, I don't disagree with the clear connection between the meds, BP, and the shooters. That would be plain ignorant. That I'm not. Also I never said take our, thats right our guns away. The Patriot Act and NDAA 2012 have destroyed anything that was left of our freedom. This is death by a thousand cuts, with a few huge blows thrown in as well. When the 2nd amendment was written these weapons didn't exist. To think that the founding fathers would of lumped them in with all the others they intended to make legal, is silly. IMHO.
There will always be necessary weapons in my home to protect my wife and 4 kids, legal or not. I just dont see the need for that much firepower with the destructive capabilities they have.
I 100% agree with you Striker about us being pushed against the wall and enough being enough. I'm just afraid we as a society are too far gone to ever get back whats ours by birthright. Too many lemmings following the one in front right off the cliff.
OK on to the Chobra. I had a 90mm 635 wick in my DID for about 2 weeks now (rough estimate). I have taken it out and torched it clean at least 5 times. I just got out my last new Chobra and trimmed maybe 10 -15 mm off the wick (width), and setup a fresh 1.5Ω coil in the Cho. The top cap has a stock airhole and I had drilled a 2nd airhole in it directly above the wick, on the slant portion. This was for the pyrex tube/coil experiment. Anyway this thing is cranking out the vapor. I'm going to do a little playing around with covering the air holes and opening them to different sizes to tune it. Initial thoughts are this may be something worth pursuing.
I am going to take a few quotes to make it a more easy read and get to the points then post the link to what I am quoting.
"The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting and the type of guns that should or should not be allowed to be carried by hunters. As Beck pointed out, the founders did not sit around and decide to put in this critical amendment to keep the hunters happy. Adkins did not hesitate to say it was to protect against government tyranny".
"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."
"The 2nd Amendment was in place to remind the newly formed federal or general government each state's citizenry would be armed and ready to defend themselves should the need arise".
"If the founders had no concern the federal government could grow tyrannical there would have been no reason for them to put in the 2nd Amendment as part of the contract being formed between the sovereign states and the newly formed, limited federal government. Tyranny was a major concern since the founders knew the habit of man was a habit of seeking power and authority over their fellow man. The rights of citizens of a nation to keep and bear arms was necessary"!
"This is only one example of the many ways our Constitution was crafted to protect the people from an out of control government should it attempt to break the chains of the Constitution. It was, as a whole, developed so the people could control government, not the other way around. Armed militia, citizens of a country, were to defend against tyranny".
"There is no doubt how serious our founding fathers were about this line of armed defense. The last four words shout their seriousness. They did not say may or should not be infringed. The declaration that it shall not be is absolute. Infringed meant the right was never to be broken, violated, or transgressed. It does not matter what precedent has been established by any court since the time this amendment was ratified. Any ruling that breaks, violates, or transgresses this right is unconstitutional and citizens of a nation have a right to keep and bear arms. Why is something so simple so hard to understand"?
"Because many of our political critters and special interest groups want it to be. Don't get fooled by their rhetoric. Just study our history and our founding documents word by word for the true intent and arm yourself with knowledge to defend against their lies and misguided precedent"!
Really read into this with an open mind. What would the 2nd A be if we had slingshots?

About that dual wick Chobra. The only thing I had to run it was that 5v bottom feeder since I was sent the wrong P+ battery tube. I hope the correct tube will be here today so I can try it out and send it to the next person.
