<<Why do you think that the powers that be are so adamant to take guns out of the hands of the populace. I believe both Waco and the Randy Weaver incident were ostensibly based on "Weapons Charges".>>

"Why do you think that the powers that be are so adamant to take guns out of the hands of the populace."

From an earlier post:

"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
--Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 (C.J.Boyd, Ed., 1950)

It's really that simple. They want tyranny and they know that we don't.
