"You want to disarm the police too?" Well it seems to work pretty well where I live, and in other countries where I'd want to live...

But that wasn't what I was suggesting. I was responding to Kim C's story "The soldiers barged into their home and beheaded Grandfather while his family watched. I said to her, that's why we have a 2nd Amendment in this country."

I pointed out that the 2nd Amernment didn't protect Amadou Diallo, and it wouldn't have even if he'd exercised it by carrying a gun. The only difference that would have made would have been that we'd never have heard of him, and his killers would never have even faced trial.
