Except we're not in the process of freeing slaves; John Brown murdered innocent people well before his little stunt at Harper's Ferry; and once again you ignore how dangerous it is to own a gun. Do you always proscribe gasoline to put out fires? Or is this a 'special case?'

Pretty much. The more guns; the more violence.

Can't seem to recall guns saving the life of Fred Hampton. The CA Black Panthers were outmaneuvered re gun laws; and I'm pretty sure we're not to the point of being occupied like the Irish (yet).
