shakran, your argument and mine is doing nothing but turning circles. You keep saying that the government can supress us at will because civilians can't own military weaponry and I keep saying because we can't own military weaponry, the government can easily supress us. What part of fixing this is not being understood?
What i'm hearing is that since the US military has tanks, bombers, and nuclear weapons, that it would be easy to decimate and overbear american citizens, but do you see the government going to that extent, even if it meant to tyrannize us? That was originally what the posse comitatus act was for, if I remember correctly, yet it's ignored nowadays. A majority of Americans have lost that martial aspect of a free nation that was there when this country was founded. Do we even try to get it back? Would a government even allow that anymore?
Maybe we already are beaten because we've let it get so bad.
