The first portion of the sentence is incorrect. The second is correct. Typically the more tyrannical the government then the more interested it is in disarming it's civilians. The founders of this nation (the USA) placed in safeguards in attempt to protect the Liberty of "the people" from the tyrannical, the traumatized, and the gullible. Mr. Manes: Please read the Declaration of Independence. Read the Constitution of the United States. Study some history - go back to the Magna Carta. If you still don't understand the importance of Armed Civilians then think carefully and do your best to determine what mix of the the above attributes (i.e., tyrannical, the traumatized, and the gullible) you posses. “Civilians do not need to have assault weapons, and the government has a compelling interest to limit the production and sale of them to the public.”
