since he's from england, I'll start with the english bill of rights and its origin. After that, I could start talking about different regimes throughout history that have disarmed its populace and the resulting aftermath.

If i'm the lone vote for a non-corrupt government, how does that help me against the majority? but thats irrelevant. Not all governments start out corrupt, not all governments end up corrupt. The point is that the people should always be armed and prepared in case it does.
