    What happens when the wolves show up with cruise missiles for those exceptionally well trained sheep dogs clustered together?

    Keeping weapons for fear of the government is foolish. Keeping a concealed carry weapon because criminals are amongst us, you have a solid point. There are countless stories out there about people defending themselves from attack. Specifically to the argument FlagDUDE's making, it's a bygone thought that no longer holds validity because the technology of ther government has outstripped the Constitution and they've already made it illegal for any of us to own RPGs or missile delivery systems, for one reason or another.

      CRIPES! If you don't believe the wolves are out there looking for the defenseless sheep, you're living in a fantasy world.

      Let me pose you a question (not again!). Did you ever read Starship Troopers? If you did, what did you think of Heinlein's social commentary?

        John Wayne was an actor.

        In reality, it's the self-appointed sheepdogs that do most of the damage in this world. No doubt Breivik thought he was a sheepdog. He did the job that needed to be done. What a hero.

        We need some sheepdogs, which is why we have LEO who are trained and have to perform their function within carefully controlled procedures. The High Plains Drifter model of justice that so many masturbate to is just a movie. And if you want a movie, in real life the self-appointed sheepdogs are this guy.

Until the last five or ten years or so you could've made a somewhat convincing argument of holding out against an overreaching sheriff's department, but with the excess military equipment making its way down to law enforcement agencies that thought has become moot. It's now holding on to vestages of the past, clutching the false idea of freedom and security that comes with keeping those firearms at hand.

            Do you really need me to explain the moral of the boy who cried wolf?Of course there are wolves out there. But that doesn't mean we need to cry wolf every time you see a dog, a fox, a cat, a raccoon, or a weasel.

            If you want to be scared shiatless by the rest of the world, fine. But don't be surprised when many of the rest of us roll our eyes because we choose not to indulge your unreasonable fears.

            And it's been a long time since I read it. From what I remember, his commentary was a load of crap. But I may be mixing the movie's satire with the book's commentary.

                  Interesting head count on the Iran vote.

                  There's still almost a month to go before the vote. Anything can happen, including Bibi inciting another Intifada or two.

                    ....so apparently Iran is going to be inspecting themselves. The hell? I suddenly see snapback as a likely result.

                      I just checked myself for character flaws. I'm completely devoid of them.

                        That investigation will probably end up just like domestic terrorist inspections. They'll find they did nothing wrong.
