The most dangerous human beings in the world, and throughout history, have never been armed.

Paine was more dangerous than Washington. Marat was more dangerous than Robespierre. Christ was more dangerous than his Roman captors and executors. Martin Luther King Jr. was more dangerous than any single American politician or soldier of his time. Harriet Tubman was more dangerous than anyone in the Confederate or Union armies. Gandhi was more dangerous than anyone in the occupying British army in India.

All it takes is a fierce mind. Some folks don't have that. That's why they need guns.

-- E. R. Bills, Aledo
