The monsters in power will keep doing this until they are out of power.
That will either happen through fair elections or through assassination. Take your pick
But an end must come
So the latter.

So, are you going to keep your right to bear arms, or do I have to remind you your civic duties?
What a narrow, simple view of the world you have
And a particularly unrealistic one
heres your dude
