An NRA myth belied
If there are so many guns in Iraq, why is it still a dictatorship?
One of the NRA's sillier talking points is the notion that guns in the hands of citizens are necessary to overthrow any government that becomes tyrannical. One of their favorite lines is that "Hitler started out by taking away people's guns." But Saddam Hussein didn't, and yet widespread gun use doesn't seem to have helped much against his dictatorship.
