A well armed militia? To name a few counter-examples: 1- Algeria (France); 2- The French in Indochina: they got out too late; 3- Vietnam: they got out too late in disregard of DeGaulle's (VLQL) warning to JFK to keep out! 4- Afghanistan: well... they didn't learn the above lessons. In all these cases, well armed and well trained armies were defeated by (hum) inferior forces! Moral: Guerrilla warfare is always a lose/lose conflict!
I agree with Lars. The USA has the unenvious world record for unvoluntary children homicides by guns. Bannings Guns? Yes. When you need one to negotiate property boundaries, you are in serious trouble: call it social cancer if you want. FYI: for many of us (other carbon based life forms) the simple idea of using a weapon of some form to harm a fellow lifeform is nauseating.
