Reply #41: Can you revolt against the federal government without a nuke? [View All]

A free people needs more firepower than the government has, or the government can coerce the people with sheer firepower.

Personally, I don't think private nukes are needed (though they can exist, and can be built, it's just fairly expensive and time consuming).

However, I think a ban on "scary looking" guns is totally idiotic, and does nothing about terrorism or street violence. Under the AWB, a rifle that 'looks" scary, but is exactly the same as a general hunting rifle, is illegal. So people who want to kill with guns have to have less slightly less scary looking methods of death.... uh... yeah. Real bright, that.

Up next: Terrified legislators outlaw "ABC", Assault Box Cutters, that have black handles, or more than three blades.
