Authors talked about the belief that guns are needed to stave off government tyranny. Mr. Horowitz argued that the belief is fundamentally incorrect and that insurrectionists are the real threat to freedom. Then Mr. Churchill talked about libertarian concerns and the origins and growth of the militia movement in the principle that the people must be willing and able to resist tyranny.
