Possibly, but I don't really know his mental state. I think it's enough
to deal with his arguments. I think some of the people who set the
terms for this debate are delusional sociopaths based on their long
history of public declarations. But none of the gun owners I've known
fit that description, and neither do many of the serious posters on this
topic.

I think it's a mistake to dance a victory jig based on a feeling of
innate superiority. If you have to declare yourself the victor in an
argument, you're probably not.

I agree that this is an absurd position to take, which is why I offer to
ask David Koresh's opinion the topic. But people who take this position
are at most mistaken. It's unnecessary to attribute sexual fetishism to
them.

I think there's little historical evidence to back up either the
assertion that brains topple governments or that lightly armed fascists
cannot do so. In this country and at this time, civilian armed
resistance would be futile.

Perhaps it's wishful thinking or just bravado.
In 1957, Orville Faubus, the governor of Arkansas activated the national
guard to prevent the integration of Little Rock High School. Eisenhower
federalized the National Guard and ordered them to stand down. The best
Faubus could do was shut down all the Little Rock high schools for one
year. That's the model for our country. Your remedies are in the
courts and polling places. Not everyone who thinks otherwise is a
retarded delusional or a delusional retard. I think most just need to
study a little more US history.
As always, YMMV.
