We're seeing that in America right now.

Society needs a mechanism to protect itself against a government that becomes corrupt and tyrannous. What do you suggest?

Call the police?

BTW if it weren't for carry laws, Jared Loughner's body count would have been higher, but thanks to those good citizens a few lives were likely preserved.

Ah the standard Mikey response, where he ignores facts, and simply states the police are corrupt and shouldn't be trusted.

I shall counter with a study showing that the conception of More Guns = Less Crime (in fact it was written specifically to refute a book with a very similar name), is deeply flawed, that open and concealed carry laws do not reduce crime, and that states with those laws see an increase in violence.

If you like, it's pretty easy to find about 10 more that have similar conclusions.

But yeah, you're pretty persuasive with you're "You think calling the police is a good idea?" argument.
