All Hail the Second Amendment

An unarmed society is easily bullied you know. Not that really matters considering they have an air force and armor.

How'd that air force and armor work out in the middle east of late? It matters, lol. Honestly, I;d rather fight a godamned conventional soldier than a guerrilla. The worst is when professional soldiers use guerrilla tactics, pretty much a recipe for producing misery amongst your enemy. Constantly being ambushed, then chasing shadows until you're exhausted, only to give up....and then get hit again, tired, on the way back to your HQ. The quality of your gear and state of mind essentially circling the drain the more effective their operations are. An armed public is pretty much the ultimate deterrent against political tyranny. That's not to say that the armed populace always wins out, of course. Sometimes governments approach the insurgents with a sledgehammer, compliance at any cost.

It is always a trade off, but the fact of the matter is the only reason why the US has not befallen to tyrants is the armed public and the intense distrust of government. This is not to say we can have a society with out armed citizens, however we are not perfect and still need armed citizens. An Ideal society is one who can have weapons and not want to kill each other. I mean we already are having issues with Cops, imagine how they will act knowing citizens ARE NOT armed at all.
