I've NEVER heard it - but it makes sense. And since the M.E. is
invoked, yes, I will readily agree that one man's freedom fighter is
another man's terrorist. Anyone with American Indian background
on the list ready to step in and silence this?
Anyway, I never owned a gun, but I do see your point regarding
technology. It so happens that military technology was THE source
of R&D for the past couple of millennia...Fine cameras are rooted in
optics and watchmaking - both used and developed for navigation -
and warfare. A great book on the subject is Longitude by David
Sobel.

Words are the bridge from wish to reality, they possess the power
to turn thin air into great cities. But be careful, for that bridge can
be traversed in both directions and rather than help build a great city,
they can destroy a beautiful dream.
