"The control of firearms is very important in the control of the population, and to counter or prevent any form of armed resistance..." - to paraphrase a multitude of fascist, socialist, communist and tyranist writers.

An unarmed and cowed populace is what has created multiple overthrows of regimes - Krystallnacht, Prague, Beijing, Krakow come to mind over the past 100 or so years. As a society, America has forgotten that the ownership of firearms is protected by the Consititution to protect the abililty of the citizenry to form militias to protect the country should our government or a foreign entity threaten the country. Our own citizenry has allowed a 'domestic threat' to arise, by their own hand, in the guise of a 'protection of rights of the unarmed'.

The revolution will come - slowly, quietly, and insidiously, and as TS signature relates - nobody will know how it happened.

The removal of some rights - to obstensibly protect other rights - is a bad idea. We as a nation have to be self reliant, responsible, and stop thinking that we are entiltled to anything other than the rights protected by the Constituion, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence - and the right to work our asses off to get everything else desired - whether we achieve those goals or not. The Pursuit of happiness is guaranteed, actual happiness is not.

Gun ownership is protected, but a felon's rights are abridged by the fact a crime has been commited - this has been upheld by the government at State and Federal levels - therefore felons should be prosecuted, not law abiding gun owners - who happen to be the great majority of this population (gun owners).

rant over - back to your regularly scheduled programming.
