#2 That's basically what happened to the Mormons in Missouri in the mid-1830's. The Govornor had the State Militia confiscate all the Mormons' weapons to, "reduce the possibility of violence" and promised that the State Militia would protect them. He was defeated in the next election and the new Govorner declared war on the Mormons. NEVER give up your weapons on promises of Government protection.

#3 If there were more beatings in Congress for sheer assholeness, we might have less Schumers, Pelosis, Obeys, Spectors, Murthas..... would we be worse off? I don't think so
