The need for better detection aside, we are witnessing one of the most dramatic coalescence of police power in the history of our nation. This is one of the reasons some of us point to the unrealistic proposition that an armed populace would resist government encroachment of their civil rights--the people are actually demanding it now.



Well I'll be damned, the NRA agrees with me!
