"It will always remain one of democracy's best jokes that it provided its deadly enemies with the means by which it was destroyed."

-Joseph Goebbels


It should be noted that, preceding him, and those like him, coming to power, the general population was disarmed. And after he, and those like him, rose to power, those disarmed, and tens of millions more, were slaughtered. That applies to many nations and regions. It is universally true, and in the previous century, the death tolled exceeds one hundred million with ease.

Armed people will not generally allow themselves to be loaded into box cars.



I'm surprised the thread isn't locked already.

Absolutely.

I trust none of them.

If men were angels, government would not be necessary. Men are not angels, government is a necessary evil. I don't even trust the people I vote for, and I'll light them up if my lack of trust is proven correct. I disagree on some things with ALL of them. I disagree regularly with the president, senators, and congressman I voted for, as well as the state and local office holders, and I let them know consistently.

“To believe all men honest is folly. To believe none is something worse.”
― John Adams

Power can corrupt and so balance of power within our government must be maintained.

By balance I do not mean between two parties or good and evil. Obviously between the three branches and all those holding office within should be trustworthy or cast out.
