I suspect the third is true.

So - statistically, who should be disarmed first?
Well at least domestically that is how it is; we have the national guard for domestic threats not the military. Disarming the military goes against the constitution. Disarming civilians goes against the constitution as well. But who observes the constitution any longer? It’s only been used as reach-round over the past decade for the most part.

Thugs can always get guns, bombs and knives; no regulation has ever changed that other than to punish the law-abiding citizen. But yes, it’s not the citizen that is the threat… but only a threat to a dictatorial government, or one trying to become such. In the end it’s not our duty to nation-build the world, nor to police it with our military, but only to stop threats against our own nation; to guard our interests. Other countries, like in that boot pic, that’s their problem, it is they that deal with it as they should.
