[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] I think there's a bit of a difference between a nation attacked by terrorists from foreign soil and one attacked by terrorists from its own soil. All these gun control quotes are bothering me for some reason. I'll need to do some research, but...take Cambodia. Hardly a rich nation. Guns are expensive, complicated machines. How many were actually in the country to start with? Furthermore, how much help is having a gun when society is crumbling around your ears? By 1938, the fate of Jews in Germany was, at least to people in the country, quite clear. And yet we see no armed revolution before this. I'm going to ask a serious question here. Has there ever been an instance where an armed minority has been able to stop a government? The only possibility that springs to mind is Vietnam, and to say that the U.S. lost to a group of untrained militia there is to completely misunderstand what really happened. [/QB][/QUOTE]
