We all know that guns can cause harm, they're everywhere darnit!
Primarily, who can own them? Who shouldn't own them? |

QUOTE During the American Revolution, it was as little as a third of hte population resisting the British, and perhaps only half of those actively doing so, and yet it was enough. The popular image of the Revolution as a people's war is untrue. But that was then.. when guns fought guns.. now they have tanks and missiles.. what good will guns do if the government starts shooting from underground bases or something? QUOTE The cycle, in the end might be unavoidable, not to sound overly grim. But when civic virtue dies in the hearts of the people, no Courts, no Constitution, and no law can save it. Sometimes the only way to revive the Rule of Law is to show people what life is like with no rule of law -- just what America is coming to. Wait.. are you saying that we need guns in case there be need to revolt, or that having guns prevents the chances of revolt? |
