This does not apply to you, Pete, but it is striking how many people who support the Patriot Act are opposed to gun control. They are giving away vital civil rights which are much more valuable than the right to bear arms, but want to keep their guns. Those guns, as Paul rightly points out, are without use in terms of resisting an industrialized government. And their support of the Patriot Act make it much more likely that they will need defense from the government...

Luckily a wave of sanity is sweeping through politics. Next year the democrats take the executive and the legislative branches! :evilgrin:
