[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2196886, member: 29706"] This is a constant that has happened throughout civilization. And anyone who does not look to other culture's rise and downfalls is doomed to repeat the mistakes. The more the governments attempt to regulate and control the closer we come to the decline as a society. Eventually the populous will come to the point where they choose to no longer abide the control. If you look at the similarities between our society and the Roman society you will be very surprised. Their eventual downfall was a series of civil wars. Right now we are at war with our selves over drugs and no matter which side "wins" we all still loose. It may not be an all out civil war but it is just the beginning of more to come like prohibition that came before it. Should the Abolitionists be successful with their goal to attempt to gain absolute control and/or void the second amendment how long will it be before people rise up to force a change and all out civil war ensues? Insanity -- Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Not far off from the truth IMHO, and what the government continues to do every day. [/QUOTE]
