Caller made the claim that 2nd Amendment was created for the purpose of people protecting themselves from a tyrannical government. That was never the purpose of the 2nd Amendment! In fact, taking up arms against the US government is treason! Those who arm themselves against their fear of the government are not patriots loyal to their country. They ignore the fact that the government IS the country. Thom pointed out how stupid doing this was and he's correct. These gun hoarders would be no match for the US government or their state governments. But they also would be committing treason. They're traitors. Call them what they are.

To the argument that having an armed citizenry will stop a tyrannical government. I have one response: Belgium 1914. Though they tried, the citizen snipers of Belgium did more to inflame the problems incurred by a military marching across the countryside.

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
For the guy who want guns to defend a tyranical government, you should ask how he defines tyrany. Is torture tyrany? Is extra-judicial executive approved assassination of US citzens tyrany? Drones?
