What resentment or blame? I have never issued an eviction notice, nor have I invaded a foreign country. I have never built military bases, or served in NATO. I have never bombed Sarajevo or Quang Tri, and I have no intention of doing so.

If these people want to stay at home, and respect the independence of peoples and nations, then god bless them. But if they put their hand on me, then I will cut it off, that's a very simple principle of self-defense that not even Jesus Christ opposed.

And when you are contentious to a hegemony with a nuclear inventory of thousands of warheads, who built themselves on slavery, genocide, war and feudalism, who carried out crimes against the Indians that make Auschwitz look like Disneyland, then it's only common sense to keep a rifle in your closet. You'd be suicidal not to.
