When will they grasp that the no-gun policy only HELPS a spree murderer, by giving him a wide open field of helpless victims?

I wish some of these "pro-property Rights" posters would spend as much time defending the Rights of individuals as the did defending the "rights" of state-sanction, quasi-gov't managed korporations.

Some folks are so myoptically (sp?) obsessed with fighting communism that any criticism of korporate America results in a negative knee-jerk reaction.

What they fail to realize is that tyranny, like any other science, advances over time. The next tyranny (one that could very likely occur right here in America) will adopt the successes of the Soviet/Nazi systems, while refining or rejecting the failures of those systems.

For example, I don't think the state will wind up owning everything, like it did in the USSR. This just isn't very efficient, and it tends to breed resentment amongst the peasants. A refinement on this system is to allow so-called "private" korporations run the economy.

This does several things. First, many of the inefficiencies of direct gov't control, no longer exist. Secondly, it's easier to deal with problems this way. Why send in a SWAT team to steal Joe Six-Pack's land for the "crime" of owning a gun, when it's so much easier just to get a quasi-gov't run kompany to fire him for "violating policy". Then Joe loses his house, and the bank/state gets his house. Last, but not least, the pay is much better for the control freaks when they sit on corporate boards, compared to a gov't job.

I think the next tyranny will be a merger between the state and big business, and it will be 10 times worse than anything we've seen before. They've had 50 years to refine the system.

Which makes it even more important for us to keep our guns, and defend our gun Rights at every opportunity.

Which makes it ever more important for the government/corporate control culture to make sure that we are defacto disarmed in our everyday lives.

As you say, myopia for tyranny seems to have become a communicable disease.
