The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." --Thomas Jefferson

The whole reason we have a right to bear arms is so we can overthrow the government every once in awhile. Anyone down?

Thomas Jefferson smoked a shitload of pot, and assumed everyone else did the same.

For the more sheep-like there's ofcourse the military taking care of you:

The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials

Obviously, people don't need weapons, after all, their noble governments will defend them...
