"You keep guns to keep the government honest. Simple as that. The guns at the political events are a welcomed sight. Governments need to be reminded that they serve the people, not rule them. A gun makes that statement more eloquently than any orator could."

As a citizen of a country other than the USA, that is a hysterically funny statement! :-) I know of few countries with a meek compliant population more brainwashed by their government, and incidentally also by big business (perhaps even more so!) !!!
