A lot of absurd hairsplitting on the difference between "representative democracy" and direct democracy is going on here. The bottom line is this: THERE MUST BE A LAST LINE OF DEFENSE IN CASE THE "GOVERNMENT," HOWEVER DEFINED, ATTEMPTS TO ABANDON ITSELF TO DICTATORIAL RULE. INDIVIDUALS WITH GUNS ARE THAT LAST LINE OF DEFENSE. Do any of you geniuses know the warning statement built into Declaration of Independence regarding the so-called "mob psychology" alluded to by some of the commentators here? Our Founding Fathers feared most the COMPLACENCY of the "mob" and not a "might makes right" mob running amok: “. . . all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms [of governmental abuses and usurpations] to which they are accustomed.” Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 Think long and hard on that quote. Ask yourself if we, as a people today, are more prone to participate in politics like an impulsive "might makes right" mob or like a lethargic, bovine, helpless, complacent herd of followers who can barely muster enough fight to stand up to politicians who would ram ridiculously self-destructive "anti-gun" laws down our throats. It is a good thing that a strong-hearted vocal minority still fights for the Second Amendment in this country, or we all would have been doomed decades ago.
