Its not in my bones. But it worries me that only the RW buys guns.
Still, it's what the police, ICE, and the army does that will matter.
There was a time when the average citizen owned guns, for hunting etc., and they did amount to a hill of beans in a civil conflict because there were no tanks, no machine guns, no aircraft.

Now? How do we say no when the men in uniform show up to take away our freedoms?
