If a government looks to be going in that direction, we will toss them out of power. :angry: Vigilance, as I already said, will obviate the need for vigilantes. Live free by exercising your franchise, not by collecting arsenals.

How do you plan to toss them out of power though? I am curious. I mean, if the crap hits the fan it's not like there is going to be a vote. Despots and dictators don't much listen to votes.
**Shrugs**
Perhaps there is a plan to have some foreign calvary ride in and save you?
See, this is a concept that I have a hard time grasping when people present this argument... How does one toss out a power mad nutjob should their own country somehow fall.
Here goes a Godwin.
I seem to recall that Hilter rounded up a lot of guns to get them out of the way before he took office. I mean, it's just how this sort of thing works.
I fail to understand how people plan to take back their governments in socialist or democratic type governments with out guns.
In a well armed society, dipwads like Saddam wouldn't have lasted long. Somebody would have done blew his head clean off.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
