To: HANG THE EXPENSE
"The people have no way to throw off a tyrannical government."

Well, not exactly.

One of the first military acts of our own American Revolution was to send a force to take Fort Ticonderoga and move the cannon through the snow-covered northeast to occupied Boston. There the cannon were placed so as to dominate Boston harbor and the British fleet that was anchored there. This action induced the British to pack up and leave Boston to its original inhabitants.

Later our Founders included the Second Amendment in our Bill of Rights so as to eliminate having to steal weapons before being able to fight tyranny. The National Firarms Act has reduced us to the position of our Founders.

If a second revolution is called for I think we will be able to figure it out. For example, I remember hearing some years ago that every sergeant's cruiser in the LAPD has an M16 or equivalent in the trunk. Isn't that a comfort?
