[Info-vax] Nice printers for OpenVMS?

[JF Mezei]

In a proper democracy, I do not understand why citizens should have the
right to bear arms and essentially riot with machine guns against their
own elected government.

Such debate cannot be held in the USA due to the NRA lobby.

As was explained to me, the original intent of the right to bear arms
was to allow citizens to defend themselves against either their won
government or invading forces from Britain (this being the 100th
anniversary of the war of 1812, it should be repeated that there have
been wars between canada and USA).

To the rest of the world, that amendment in the USA constitution is an
anachronism and people are puzzled as to why the USA citizens are so
adament to leave that in when at the end of the day, all it does is
allow civilians to own guns for "recreational" purposes and has nothing
to do with the original intents of the constitution. (especially when
"recreational" includes turning video games into reality and going on a
shooting spree in some public place).
