...are, of course, right to take Mister Paul to task for his grandstanding.

The notion a government would ever kill a citizen on native soil is absurd.

There's not a stitch of evidence to support such fear mongering.

Really: can any one cite a single example of a government killing its own citizens?

That a government would kill citizens (with drones or guns or poisons, etc.) is as nonsensical as the suggestion a government would move to disarm a population through incremental gun controls.

Again: can any one cite a single example of government incrementally restricting firearms (with an eye toward a universal ban)?

Mister Rand must be made to understand: 'It can't happen here'.
