    Perhaps we should begin with the basics.

    If you consider that "history", what, pray tell, do you consider as "current events"??? ..only things that happened less than ten seconds ago?

    That's a lovely story of the blossoming of Indian desire for independence. It does not address at all why Britain let you guys go. The answer to that question is what you cannot look in the mirror and accept. If you think the most acquisitive empire the world has ever known just walked away because you pointed flowers at them you are just as moronic as you sound.

    When are you going to figure out he backs up nothing he says? He just asks stupid questions which he thinks you don't know the answer to.

    No offense, I agree with you obviosuly. But seriously he's a really pathetic debater. It's not good to fall for it.

    Point taken. The intent of the right to bear arms is to defend against the government, but, as I conceded, if we actually had the arms to defend ourselves against the government, bad things would happen. The government is so powerful that balancing it would lead to destruction. The Nuclear stockpile could destroy the entire world several times over. If the soviets attempt to balance USA made for our near destruction, then a civilian attempt would certainly end in our destruction. So, we are back down to asking our government to behave. It sucks really. I hate governments.
