[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"]That's just completely incorrect.[QUOTE="th3warr1or"]there was essentially not a single civilian in Germany at that point that was even armed. th3warr1or
And North Korea would certainly deem anyone who tried to overthrow their regime a criminal, and that's what matters. The fact that you think that people who dissaprove of the North Korean government are in the right isn't going to get them out of the concentration camp. You're arbirarily changing the definition of what it means to be a criminal. And I'm not saying that there aren't laws that should be broken, but there's an underlying contradiction to say that "law-abiding citizens" need to be able to purchase guns to protect themselves from an oppressive government.
By definition a law-abiding citizen can't protect itself from an oppressive government.
Not necessarily. Is it a crime for a law-abiding citizen to protect himself from a criminal? If say, a democratic government suddenly ignored democracy and started implementing "laws" contrary to the fundamentals of the state using force and violence as opposed to actual democracy, they're the criminals. They were voted in, and now they're disregarding the same system that allowed them to even be there. That just makes it an organized crime ring, not a government.I'd say that's a distinction without a difference.
