IRAQIS WITH GUNS

Earlier, maybe even before the attack on Iraq, we reported that private guns shops thrived in Iraq. Probably little different than the pictures we see of gun stalls in Islamabad or Karachi. Many of us wondered how a regime so brutal under a Saddam could even take root in a climate so forged with widespread civilian gun ownership. I would imagine it's standing the Second Amendment defenders in America on their heads! How could it happen? The people - common citizens - had the means at their disposal to overthrow tyranny, didn't they? Are we to conclude from the absence of resistance that Saddam was lauded for his paternal leadership?
