"An enraged, highly motivated, and ARMED rabble can be a real pain in the butt to any Tyrant!" They can also be terrifying to any other group that they decide doesn't belong or agree with them.
You state that one person was overcome while trying to unlock his pistol. How many children are killed every year handling guns that, had been locked, would have been unable to be discharged. The state of Maine, as you probably know Jacque, currently has a program where gun owners may obtain free gun locks in order to prevent such tragedies. Nothing mandatory just an attempt to prevent such needless tradgedies.
It must be really horrible to live in such fear, to feel so constantly threatened, that one feels the necessity to carry weapons. When does the craziness stop? Do we start giving everyone in the country a gun as soon as they turn 18?
I don't consider myself a commie or a red as you seem to think those disagree with are but maybe you and Tail Gunner Joe could have had youself some wild ol' times.
