[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The slaves in Haiti used overpowered their oppressive owners. [/quote]

Did they overpower a government?[/quote]

Yes.

They kicked out the French.[/quote]

Not because they had the right to bear arms though
.  
India/Pakistan did it without guns.
MLK did it without guns
Hungary and Czechoslovakia tried it with guns and failed.  When they tried it without guns it succeeded.[/quote]

Go read some history of the civil rights movement, and then come back and tell us if you think MLK Jr would have been as successful as he was without Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and other people and groups willing to seize their rights "by any means necessary."

Even surface historical accounts are littered with suggestions that white people supported MLK because he was more palatable, and with the violence simmering and exploding knew they had to give at least lip service to something. Heck, anti-gun people should be well aware of this because of Reagan, and the NRA's work to try and keep guns out of black hands. It's used as an argument against the NRA! I guess you forget about it when it's inconvenient.[/quote]
