"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States." ?Noah Webster, 1787

A good reminder why our founding fathers added the second amendment.
The Japanize government decided not to attack the continental US because they new most US citizens were armed. We had more weapons in citizens hands than their military had.
