"How about when the criminals are wearing uniforms and have the power of the state behind them? Or are you one of those foolish souls who earnestly believes, 'It can't happen here, we're special, we're different, we're better?'"

Can you read?

I only ask because I directly addressed this exact point in my previous post, a couple paragraphs up from the part you quoted. Not sure how you overlooked it. Makes you look a little foolish.

I'll copy and paste it in here for you:

"...people who have visions of a future armed uprising by gun-toting Americans against a tyrannical government are living in a fantasy world. Not because our government could never become tyrannical, but because if it did, in the end the 2nd Amendment wouldn't make any difference."

Hope that helped, buddy.

Not because our government could never become tyrannical, but because if it did, in the end the 2nd Amendment wouldn't make any difference."

Tell that to the Jews of Europe, circa 1942. Tell it to the Warsaw Jews. Tell it to the well-armed and never-invaded Swiss.

I guess the difference between us is that some folks are naturally cowards, who project that flaw on everyone else.
