Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Sad thing is Cote d'Ivoire used to be about the most stable country in West Arica. The government was corrupt and authoritarian, but not to an itolerable degree (think Mexico under the PRI). It was wear you put your money to keep it safe, and a whole lot of international businesses were headquartered. They had a pretty good thing going till the screwed it up. :P It should be a warnig as to how easy you can blow a good thing if people start valuing power over stability and prosperity.
