Again, your comment is probably focusing on the cosmetics, which Felix nicely pointed out don't mean spit. Now, he made a comment about liberals in there, too, and I'd like to take the time to remind him that some liberals own guns, too, and them's fightin words. :devil:

Sorry, that came across wrong. What I meant was, if one's military protects the nation, why does one need arms - be it of a similar type or not - i.e. rifles, for example. The only reason one would need arms in that case, is if one had to protect oneself - in which case, it makes the military redundant on home soil. Or, to get rid of the goverment in power
.
Do feel free to correct me if I'm misguided in anyway. That's just how I see it.

Regarding CD's comment that it is sometimes one's duty to fight one's country's military, I wholeheartedly agree. I think that time is now, today, when we should be storming D.C., but that's just me. Give me 10 or 20 thousand more like me, and I'll go Che Guevera on your ass, but that's a pipe dream. Regardless, that comment militates against his querry as to why we need such guns. I actually believe we should be allowed to own howitzers, RPGs, M16/M203 combos, tanks, etc., for that very reason. The 535 major bastards and the 1 uber bastard in D.C. should always feel like they are 10 seconds away from being quartered and drawn, as far as I'm concerned.

If that's the case - why would you need an army, other then to protect against foreign nations invading? (to owning howitzers and the like)
