Imagining the mental gymnastics you went through to bring this up was the best laugh I've had all day.

Trying to say owning a handgun would prevent a clandestine branch of a first world governments assassination.

in simpleton speak.. UK killed a citizen with a drone.... without trial... this means they will use a tool to kill citizens without trial... as have many many other govts in history....

simple economics of scale... your govt cannot afford to drone kill everyone and everyone can afford a rifle / pistol... it will be bloody but an armed citizenry will always win...

assuming they care enough to fight

Who won in Northern Ireland?

One of the things that annoys me about this stupid phoney insurgency that's always brought up as a pro-gun argument is that we actually had one in the UK and it was awful.
