[quote=FlyerInHi]Do we really need to “fear” our government since everyone who works in government swears to defend the Constitution? Would they take orders from a dictator? [/quote]
Since when is just “swearing” to defend the constitution just enough? You need arms in case those who swore did not really mean it.
For example, like the presidents (past and current) did not really have your and my privacy needs in mind when they ordered a wide ranging snooping program against who they get their paycheck from.
