The conclusion is appalling because it would allow even greater massacres than the ones we’re already experiencing. Think of hand grenades tossed into classrooms. But the conclusion is logical, if you accept the initial premise. In fact, the logic extends much further. Effective resistance to modern armed forces would require weapons like tanks and artillery. |

The author suggests the defense against tyranny is voting.
I wonder how well he thinks that worked in Nazi Germany, or more recently, in Putin's Russia?
I can't take the ignorance anymore .... I just cant. |

| I guess the author missed this - "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." |

TO REMEMBER |
| Today the taxing power, rather than chattel slavery, is the instrument by which the parasitical element of the population subsists. And that element, which includes politicians, panics at the slightest reduction in the state's power to plunder. Once you start liberating taxpayers, even a little tiny bit, nobody knows where it may end. —Joseph Sobran |
