I'd say, on the contrary, that too many here are stepping into it. It is not proven truth, that an armed citizenry will prevent the imposition of socialism. As Jefferson put it, mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable. We have been suffering a lot of socialism over the past 70 years or so. We seem to be, as a people, more disposed than ever to suffer. The evils are more flagrant than ever, and the law-abiding people always consider which is worse, to resort to arms or to suffer yet another evil, and they always choose the latter.
One day, we RKBA fire-eaters will be as scarce as centenarians---perhaps we will be centenarians---and the government will bide its time until the last one expires. Or maybe the government will slowly marginalize us, maneuver us, indoctrinate our grandchildren against us, and one sorry day, just quietly and efficiently round us up and send us to the showers.
Call me a pessimist but I do believe that is possible, and gun possession is no guarantee of liberty in this metal-detector society. Guns don't protect; people do. It remains to be seen how many people feel how strongly about armed resistance to slow-cooked tyranny.
"Step this way, please."
Guns don't protect; people do.>>>>>
Very true, but unfortunately very easily twisted by the left to mean something entirely different from what you are saying.
