Why Larry Elder is still an idiot

Because in "Why Do We 'Keep and Bear Arms'," he asks

Is "Militia" — as the Framers intended — an arm of government? Or did the Framers define militia as something completely different — a group of armed citizens with a right to "keep and bear Arms" to guard against unjust or tyrannical government power?

As you would expect, he says the second option is the answer. And he quotes a couple of dictators to support his contention.

Dictators throughout history sought to disarm their citizenries in order to impose power:

Vladimir Lenin said, "One man with a gun can control 100 without one."

Mao Zedong said, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

Josef Stalin said: "We don't let them have ideas. Why would we let them have guns?"
