Right, that's why I didn't either. Wish the other side had brought it up
first. <grin> (1) It's true, though. I worked it in via the Custer
reference. Tyrants disarm populations. That's what they do. If you are
living somewhere that is trying to disarm you, check your premises.
1 - for the newbies in the audience, Usenet tradition (2) holds that the
first side in an argument to mention Hitler or Nazis loses the argument,
since it's such a stock invokation.
2 - which probably applies here, can we have a ruling on that, Todd? Or
is it a "norms of the group" thing? In that case, I for one say it does,
any dissenters?
