She knows she walks a fine line there because if she or her cohorts ever push too hard, and that large group of people ever became truly enraged at the liberal/leftists/marxists/power mongers in this nation...well, after the curtain came down the Romanians are an example of what an enraged, armed populace is capable of doing to tyrants.
She fears that. The Chinese fear it from their own and that is why any tyranical government works so hard to keep the generaal populace disarmed.
A free government trusts its people to be armed...tyranny fears armed citizens and does all in its power to disarm them. That's an effective barometer to measure any government by IMHO, among other things.
Never thought of it that way, but it is true. There isn't too many free nations left. Just a handful that I can think of.
Sad!
