"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny." - T. Jefferson

Yeah. T.J. was prescient, or actually, just observant. Even our beneficant government, whilst once on the side of 'the people', have turned into the oppressors.

Only problem is, there's no New Frontier to go to any more. We're stuck.

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - TJeff.
