GB, the problem is that an armed citizenry is a minimal requirement to hold back tyranny for at least 200 years or so.

unfortunately, an armed apathetic citizenry gets fooled into tyranny, but at least it takes time and the tyrants have to work at it.

ask russia's 60 million murdered by the state feel about anti-gun laws.

ask the jews if they became more safe once hitler took guns from their neighborhoods.

ask europe during the middle ages when their brides to be were "had" by the local thug enforcer before they could get married (i recall this as being factual from several sources and i believe there is a name for it, but i can't seem to google it right now).

ask mao's chinese population how being unarmed "saved their kids" when 60-80 million of them died.

after looking at a map of countries invaded by hitler, ask the swiss if guns saved their children - especially the jewish people in switzerland.

of course, i could go on and on throughout history - but that's just it.

we have to know history and not rely on our the tyrant manipulated feelings.

"come here little child, look at this puppy in my truck. now just get on in and you can pet it."

we have to be more sophisticated than that.

oh, and lock up your firearms and train your children to respect them.
