    'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.

    'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.

    When was the last time the US mobilized 25,000 soldiers to a single city in the span of a week...?

    When was the last time we deployed 25,000 soldiers into one city that wasn't a disaster area? For other than humanitarian support.

    Well in 1968, there were 14,000 armed soldiers and machine guns mounted on the Capitol steps. But they only had hours to deploy, not a week to prepare. It sure was a disaster area.

    My big sister was enrolled at GW then, I remember going to visit with my folks and how the impact of seeing the troops impacted my WWII vet father. He was very saddened by what he saw.

    Thanks. I knew about the riots but didn't know the military response was that big then.
