It is not the killing efficacy of civilian arms, but rather the totality of civilian arms possession, that keeps tyranny at bay. Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention. Let us not forget that when the dems had control of all branches of govt after Sandy Hook, Harry Reid REFUSED to call gun control for a vote. Many have opined that it was a political move. I'll offer an alternative opinion. Harry Reid knew that the American people would not bow to another Clinton style gun ban. What's Connecticut's compliance rate up to, 4%? Yes, AR15s and the like are NEEDED. I saw a statistic the other day. The .gov bureaus' now have more armed agents than the US Marine Corps. Think about that.
