    When one group of people has weapons, and the other doesn’t, it won’t be long before the first group decides the 2nd group looks like easy pickings.

        Equality does not truly exist until everyone is equally armed. Money can only be synonymous with power, as long as the people allow it to be.

        When two groups of people are more or less equally armed, neither has the advantage over the other.

        What many people fail to realize is that while armaments have changed over thousands of years, as long as there appears to be a balance of power, peace happens.

        But once one group or another no longer perceives “the other” as being equal in power to them war is inevitable.

        That, in a nutshell, is what is happening today in the USA.

          Yep couldn’t have said it better. The fascist are armed, trying to reason with these people and use the laws are getting no where. Once they start with the violence, and it will happen, then people who are anti-gun are gonna wish they weren’t so anti-2a real quick.
