Tongue-in-cheek? Right?
You do not seriously belive that the people's right to keep and bear certain kinds of weapons is the only thing keeping our government honest, right?
I witnessed the 1997 North Hollywood (California) bank robbery. Heavily armed, and shielded, bank robbers were able to inflict heavy damage on police officers responding to the call.
There is no good reason in the world for people to own asault rifles and other high-powered weaponry.
