Nice try, but the human right you just made a case for is "the right to rid
yourself of criminals and despots". A "fundamental right" for citizens to have
firearms does *not* automatically follow. Yes, despots usually need to be
removed by force. What Ghandi showed was that the force didn't have to be
military - there are other types of force that work well too...
Anyhow, enough of that, except as it relates to communications.. ;)
