Reply #25: I've not supported the idea of "units of popular defense".... [View All]

[Blue to the bone]

I say so because I look at how these arms and the "units of popular defense" are likely to ultimately be used in the future.

While the intent of protecting the nation against an imperial US invasion looks good on paper, I'm afraid that many of these weapons will ultimately fall into the wrong hands or be used against those they were never intended.

Crime here is terrible, especially in the big cities, and it's just hard for me to believe that a government distribution of small arms will result in anything good.
