In case you forgot, taxation was the primary reason for the revolutionary war. Informed “liberals” know this, and that’s why they want to take guns from the citizens. Then a revolution is impossible.
“It is more a subject of joy [than of regret] that we have so few of the desperate characters which compose modern regular armies. But it proves more forcibly the necessity of obliging every citizen to be a soldier; this was the case with the Greeks and Romans and must be that of every free State. Where there is no oppression there can be no pauper hirelings.” --Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1813.
