How different would the history of Native Americans be if they were not forced to bring spears and bows and arrows to a 50 year long [B]gun[/B] fight with the United States Army? How different would history be if 6 million Jews would have [B]all had guns [/B]during the Nazi conquest of Europe? The brutal reality of human history on this planet is that those who have the weapons make the rules, and those who beat their swords into plowshares will wind up plowing for those who dont.
