the protection of the american people from terrorists will arise under harry browne's plan by americans being able to carry and thwart any attacks first hand... an armed citizenry is a safe citizenry... harry browne is right, doped up or not.

And an armed citizenry will stop enemy air forces with what? You plan on shooting down Chinese ICBM's with your hunting rifle? You plan on shooting those pesky biological weapons? Our enemies are using terrorists because we have a strong professional military with the most advanced (and expensive) equipment. Replace that with just an armed citizenry, and our enemies will go back to using big armies and navies. An armed citizenry against modern tanks and jets is a dead citizenry. Even the Chechens lost Grozny twice when they tried to defend it (and the Russians lost it back once when they tried the same).
