But that's the catch. We will never be North Korea, because we have the right to hold enough power (weapons) to make sure our government never tries to turn us into North Korea. If you take our weapons away, there is nothing to stop the most powerful military in the world from doing anything they want. Would you want Bush Jr. to have had that much power?
I got to go to work guys. See ya later. |
You live in a country where your political power as an individual far outweighs your firepower in all fairness. If the people don't support a move to become a new North Korea then it wont happen because it wont be supported. The only way it would happen if the people didn't support it would be if the government chose to ignore the majority in a demonstrably unconstituional manner to take away the political power of the individual.
The government itself does not have enough political power to outweigh the poltical power of the majority population. Where as it does have the firepower to outweigh the firepower of the population. If you want the populations firepower to outwiegh the militarys firepower then I suggest you start letting people keep ICBMs in the back garden and RPGs in their garage, but allowing that will quickly lead to uncontrolable violence.
