"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - Edmund Burke

This doesn't simply mean that you can memorize and recite historical facts. You need to be able to take things in context and apply the lessons taught. No corner of this Earth is immune from the effects of corruption and internal division. No nation is immune to major global crises or the will of the banks. America is an increasingly divided country with a rapidly worsening debt problem that is showing all of the hallmarks of a major upheaval. I don't even need to bring up the fact that America relies on nations such as China and Russia for vital resources. What would happen if they faced a catastrophe or even declared war on America and her allies? What would happen to the already unstable nation? It may not end with a revolution or fascist-corporatist regime but things aren't going to be perfect forever, that is simply impossible.

To those who refuse to learn from history, to those who would bury their heads in the sand. What does lying to yourself accomplish? What does ignorance accomplish? What does a complete lack of preparation accomplish? Why place so much blind faith and trust in a government that does not necessarily have your best interests at heart? Do you realize that without any vigilance against tyranny that you enable it?

Also, LOL at your almost complete lack of a proper rebuttal. I will take this as an admission that gun prohibition would be impossible to implement and of no real benefit. Finally, care to prove how modern day America is unique and without any similarity to Germany before the rise of Hitler or Italy before the rise of Mussolini? Care to prove how America is so unlike Yugoslavia prior to the Yugoslav Wars?

Saying things like "it can not happen here, not in the modern day" doesn't make it true. America is no different. Go ahead and live in a fantasy world, it'll get you killed one of these days. Wake up, open your eyes and recognize the very real dangers that exist in the developed world.
