Sure is a better world today, ain't it?

Same world, same world.
Take a snap-shot of 1967. Armed men assembled in protest talking about revolution as a last resort.

Take a picture of 2013. Armed men assembled in protest talking about...

Well, but the one group is so menacing, dressed all in black.
The other group is comprised of prosperous pot-bellied men in dockers, and izods, and boat shoes.

One of these groups is scarier than the other, and gun rights are contingent on fear.

They stood up for bigotry as well, and still do. Like all extrmists group, they only stood for those like them and wouldn't mind seeing everyone else destroyed.
