No group of people who was well armed has been massacred by their government that I know of. I also can not name a single tin hat dictatorship that has a well armed populace.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7117787.post-66042619861754380182007-11-14T21:24:00.000-05:002007-11-14T21:24:00.000-05:00Yes, that's true, Joe, and knowing this government...Yes, that's true, Joe, and knowing <I>this</I> government anything could happen!seevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100940795319799759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7117787.post-68162571505264740972007-11-14T18:40:00.000-05:002007-11-14T18:40:00.000-05:00I agree that the 'right to bear arms' was put in a...I agree that the 'right to bear arms' was put in at a very different time of our nations history. After all, there is little threat of Indians leaving their casinos to go pillage a town, But I think it is still important for citizens to have 'arms' because it can, to some degree, keep some fighting power in the hands of the people. <BR/>Imagine if only military were allowed to have weapons. How would the citizens of the country ever be able to re-gain control from a crazed overbearing government?GeologyJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07212488235413098715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7117787.post-65058843728888434252007-11-14T18:15:00.000-05:002007-11-14T18:15:00.000-05:00Yes, I'm sure things will stay as they are.

Who am I, though, to suggest gun control in the state of Maine? Perhaps I better run for the nearest exit....lol?seevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100940795319799759noreply@blogger.com
