Regarding the absurdity of private gun ownership vs the US military

[Nuclear Unicorn]

11. In the episodes you mentioned, minus Kent State

someone was actively aggressing. Kent State was a situation that got out of control. But I'm not seeking a debate about history.

But as far as my point is concerned, those who demand a gun ban -- in direct contravention of recent Supreme Court rulings and in full knowledge that such a thing would never pass congress -- are saying they are willing to set-off a firestorm where only massive military intervention would save them. Except I have serious reservations that those who demand unchecked, imbalanced unitary executive action being able to rally the military to their cause. And since those who desire such unilateral dictates seem to express a perverse glee at the prospect of wholesale slaughter they ought to be ignored from the first. They should be disincluded in conversations over gun policy until they set aside their civil-warmongering and come to their better senses.

My one comforting thought is I do not see Obama as the sort who would fulfill these disturbed fantasies and I pray no such person is ever elected as president.
