When I saw the above 3 questions I immediately thought of Waco, David Koresh and the
Branch Davidians. Talk of the right to bear arms as a basic right and part of the constitution
sounds great but when it comes down to it if you are a threat you will be stepped on.
The Giant _will_ defend itself.
This is why it is so important that intellectual values dominate social values and why it is
moral to do so. The tricky bit is achieving it!
