[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 280815, member: 1863"] Yes it could play both ways. The David Koresh extremist worry me also BUT they worry me less than folks such as Hitler, Idiahmin (sp?), Stalin, Saddam Hussien, Pol Pot etc.. Not from the standpoint that we may be invaded but history shows that tyrants can come to power anywhere given the right political climate. The US is less vulnerable but not immune. The David Koreshes of the world are small time crack pots with a couple hundred followers. A strong political leader or system can control armies, police, civic governments etc.. Will it happen in my lifetime? Probably not....but I think it is knieve to think that it will not happen someday. World history has shown that Democracies or Free Republics struggle to last over 200 years. The US has but look at how much has eroded over that same period. If you look at recent historys worst dictators (like Hitler, Stalin etc..) the first thing that they did was disarm the general populace. Just think if some of these populations had guns how the tide could have changed and millions of lives could have been saved. OK...enough of my stumping... :lol: [/QUOTE]
