    The only reason that I can think of, as to why the Government is arming itself is because they damn well know "that the road they are forcing us down is wrong".

    You forget America is many cultures, not just one. Even among the gun toting crowd, most of them are sensible, and not fanatics.

    Tal, culture knows nothing about fanaticism, it cannot be measured from within the culture. Does a fundamentalist Muslim consider himself a fanatic? did the Christian inquisitionists consider themselves fanatics?, Did the Nazi consider themselves fanatics? But their actions, when viewed from outside the culture, are considered unacceptable in other societies. The culture of the gun in your society has the same overtones, irrespective of the fact that reasonable people say they would not behave that way in each of the cultures
