They Have All the Guns

I recently saw another episode of Freedom Watch on Fox (as good a news show as will air on an average guy's cable) in which Judge Andrew Napolitano organized a little debate between professor Walter Williams and some liberal woman about citizens using weapons against the government if it breaks their basic human rights. She, of course, denied any possibility of this happening and even hinted that prof.Williams might be charged with inciting violence. I, on the other hand, think Dr.Williams was 100% right! First of all, this country was founded by just that activity - oppressed people picked up their own rifles and attacked their tyrants. The great Edmund Burke even acknowledged they had the right to do so at the time it was happening! Secondly, this woman denied there being any possibility of tyranny in the modern US government that would warrant such action and challenged prof.Williams to pick an example. The Judge then brilliantly cited the example of Japanese and Italian Americans who were unlawfully herded into concentration camps during World War II. Surely they had the right to defend their life and property! The only argument I see here is as follows: At what point does government breach our rights enough to warrant a counterattack? Drawing this line seems very arbitrary. Some people (like myself) might say that the income tax breaks human rights and is therefore unlawful. Or how about the Amish whose property is being confiscated by force by the US government for social security payments which they neither wish to make nor later wish to claim? Is this obvious theft not enough to justify armed resistance?
This is why two things need to happen:
1. The line to be crossed must be made exact and precise to avoid all confusions and risks. The US Constitution is simply not good enough a tool to take care of this problem and even if it was, it is not a very ethical solution.
2. The people's right to respond to tyranny with force for self-defense must be recognized and not suppressed.
Because if they all have guns, and none of us do, what hope of defense do we have?

Charlton Heston was a mountain of a man and this is how he put it: "I say that the Second Amendment is, in order of importance, the first amendment. It is America's First Freedom, the one right that protects all the others."
