[Peace-discuss] could we get Rep. Rodney Davis to support some reasonable gun control measures?

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

Armor piercing bullets are only needed when you are defending against an 
aggressor
wearing armor, i.e. military and militarized police.

I grant you that anyone who raises up arms against the PTB has to
be willing to die for the cause.  That right to kill or be killed
seems intrinsic to the resistance to oppression.

The fact that indeed the people might rise up with arms is a
sufficient restraint upon tyranny that Tyrants like Mr. Obama
find it worthwhile to remove this restraint to his king-like power.

I am surprised to find you on the wrong side of this, Bob.

Do you think that the UN should come in and disarm the Palestinians?

Would that bring a desirable sort of peace to Gaza?
