What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"

"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
-- Second Amendment to the United States Constitution

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
~~ Thomas Jefferson

Is there really any question as to who "they" is? Only if you are ignorant of history.

It's hard for me to consider someone who fails to understand the primary reason why I exercise my UNALIENABLE Right to keep and bear arms a "would be supporter."
