72. Kindly explain your logic, if we can call it that.

How does the whole body of the citizenry being "well armed" (again, the standard of comparison being tanks, planes, missiles, etc.) keep the US from going fascist? Or is this just a superstitious belief? Or are you just keeping the elephants away?

Q: Why are you whistling like that?
A: I'm keeping the elephants away.
Q: There isn't an elephant within a thousand miles of here!
A: See how well it works?

Also, how in sam hell do you expect to have the "whole body of the citizenry" well armed when a great many of them would never even consider owning a gun?
