The police of a state should never be stronger or better armed than the citizenry. An armed citizenry, willing to fight, is the foundation of civil freedom. That's a personal evaluation, of course.

Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you; if you don't bet you can't win.

An armed society is a polite society.

Must be yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please.

Anything free is worth what you pay for it.
