Gun Violence and the outlawing of firearms in America

but im sure there was a time when Geroge Washington, or any of the founding fathers did not condone rebellion against the crown either.

If you read the Declaration of Arms - it makes it clear that in 1775 the hope was to reconcile differences between the governed and the government. So yes, GR is right, insurrection was the last resort.

Also - Thomen - well thought out point there. Every army goes on its belly, and when an army relies on the civilian population to allow that, it cannot turn against that same population without having its supplies strangled.
