Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government.

  Something bad. Is it something bad? I bet it was something bad.

    Funnily enough it resulted in more gun control, so it was something good.

  Look at the results of that 90s LA bank robbery. It was the first time that two guys had enough body armour and firepower to challenge the local police. What was the end result? Every police officer across the country getting assigned body armour, high powered rifles, and every police agency militarizing and buying APCS, tactical units, etc.

  The idea that the government would allow you to own weaponry that would legitimately challenge them is asinine.
