There's been a lot of supposition on the current "gun control thread" (the one started by shani) by pro-gun advocates about the unrestricted right to keep and bear firearms based on the circumstance that one day we, the people, may need to to take them up to defend ourselves against our government.
And it's gotten me to wondering...what exactly does that mean?
Is there a plan? Is there some kind of comprehensive, yet secret, society that is prepared with strategies and registries and organized hierarchies and, most importantly,
a follow-up plan?? (Ya! Gotta have one of those! Trust me!)
Or is it just a vague idea? A picture in the mind of defending your family with your trusty rifle through the broken-out window in your living room while a US tank rolls up into your front yard?
I'm really curious to know. And, in fact, in order to buy this idea I need to be sold on it as one that is grounded in rational, practical thought.
...and I just don't see it.
To steal a cue from shani, educate me.
