That socialism has failed, every time it has been attempted, is not

Is that wrong?  People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right".  Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.
