Today’s news in Venezuela and the Ukraine demonstrates again how democracy can crumble in a heartbeat as those in power have the bullets to stop it! When we surrender our rights to protect our families with firearms we also prevent our ability to defend tyranny.
I understand that if the entire force of a country was against the citizens it wouldn’t take long for that force to win but at what cost to that government? I also believe most people who serve in public service are good people who believe in the democratic form of government but all you need is a few evil men/woman with the power and their unwilling subjects to crush it for all. So the next time the government tries to register gun owners or regulate their ownership just think of our friends across the sea that traded in those rights and ended up with tyranny.
