21. Good thing we live in a democracy. Does the dictator in your vision, have an army

at his command? What about nukes or drones?

I don't think the well armed American populace you note, is as powerful as they'd like to think?

We have a say with our votes.

We're no longer fighting King George's empire.

If you want a handgun in your home, fine. No one wants to take it from you.
