The RKBA v Tyranny [View all]

I have stated in the past that the individual RKBA is a safeguard against tyranny.

Some have suggested that US military strength negates any effects of private arms since a citizens' military victory would be impossible. What they don't see is that a military victory where a significant portion of the population is wholesale murdered isn't tyranny. It's just murder.

There are folks who would be examples of the truth of Churchill's statement: "If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate, you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
