52nd street -
And yet we can look at any of a hundred acts of genocide that have taken place in extremely highly armed societies - Cambodia, Rwanda, even the Cultural Revolution all took place in societies where people had a lot of weapons in their homes. Massacres were conducted by Rios Montte, Cristiani, Pinochet...and yet all countries were well armed.
In no case that I am aware of has gun ownership prevented the use of force by a government against its own people.
By all means prove me wrong - name one.
Did any of those countries have the second amendment: the right to protect yourself, your family and your property, by force if necessary?
