    The Federal Government gained more power as a result of the Civil War. It gained the power to boss around the states. The only good that ever did was when it was used to make states abolish slavery. But hell, slavery was already on the way out. I'd say another 40-60 years and the states would have abolished slavery on their own, as was the trend at the time.

    But now we have a Federal Government that forces extra tax money out of people in every state, and then sends it back to the states with strings attached..."Hey Montana, want some tax revenue for your roads? No problem...but FIRST, we need you to lower your speed limit to 65." If the South would have won, we wouldn't have this fucking problem. But all you faggots can think about is "oh the poor slaves".

    If the slaves had guns no need for a civil war

    They were an unarmed populace that got fucked. Same with the Swayes, who had some arms but not enough when it would have mattered.

    Human history is littered with the powerful fucking the poor. Guns even the field.

    Keep worshiping your government and trust in them. They are on your side. Really

    Now lets pass another law that the law that wasn't followed in this case needs to be followed next time

    lol, no

    There was a fantastic slave revolt in South Carolina where the slaves had guns and numbers. Lost anyway.

    Slave revolts usually failed with or without guns due to the slaves' lack of knowledge of military tactics and organization.

    Ruby Ridge. A clusterfuck of epic proportions.

    Janet Reno hit the holy trinity of dumbfuck between Ruby Ridge, The Branch Davidians and Elian Gonzales. What a courageous woman.

    Bitch.

    Proves my point. The GIs broke into the National Guard armory to get military small arms because they were superior to their hunting rifles, had no heavy weapons and thus could not take the police station by storm despite having an overwhelming advantage of numbers, and felt they had to act quickly because they knew that real soldiers would likely arrive the next day.
    Someone in the crowd yelled, "Let's go get our guns," causing the crowd to head for the Essankay Garage.

    Some also went to the armory. Would have been much more efficient if they all had guns of their own.

    The 60 who were under the direct command of Bill White got their guns at the armory. HTH.

    (I thought Bill White became the sheriff, until I looked again)
