What I'm getting at, is that lets say that suddenly the government decides to go dictatorship or some sort of crazy system that uses the military against its citizens, and gun laws were strict as possible before the power shift, how would the people be able to rise up against the power and regain control to abolish and reform? Tighter restrictions could lead to a bizarre out come like that. |
Except that can not and will not ever happen. It's a little thing the founding fathers liked to call "Checks and Balances." (Granted, Bush has literally gotten away with murder but I PRAY the U.S. will never see such a stupid and dangerous man take office ever again)
And what kind of ignorant argument was that Woven? Yes, the police are the only ones with guns (and only when on duty) but that doesn't mean they can suddenly tell everyone to do whatever they want.
