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 |
| The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
