Gospel of Matthew, chapter 26, verse 52, an unnamed follower of Jesus draws his sword and cuts off the ear of a servant of the high priest. Jesus then says to him: Converte gladium tuum in locum suum - Live by the sword, die by the sword. Violence begets violence, but America must have her guns and must defend itself - against itself.
A lot of violence is organised to get things like martial law and higher taxes to do things, and to force the working class to be submissive IMO.

Also, didn't it take the ordinary man / woman to tame and build this country called America? Didn't it all start with normal people wanting something for themselves and their families and friends?

Of course and it could be again, all it would take is....it to be done by the people for the people, not by corporations and rich men/women to bleed the average Joe to get what they ( big business) wants.

Just a few thoughts.........
