That's exactly what the right is for, to have guns accumulated ahead of time. The tyrant can declare it taken away, but he can't enforce it universally. Who will conduct the bill…

They apply and illustrate. V and the American Founding Fathers both wanted to empower the governed to restrain and overthrow it as necessary, not to remove it for all time.…

Probably not, but there's no danger of a united militia, and equally little danger of the armed forces uniting behind a commander in chief who would advocate nuking or anthraxing…

I wouldn't go quite that far; V wants to get rid of *that* government, not all government. VFV's more of a militia promotion to me.…

When no man living can recall who is commemorated by the painted skin hanging in the hall, it is taken down and if it says "BEVO" on the back, we have a chuckle and hang it back …

A sheath can have extra bits to protect the weapon from tarnish and the elements, esp if it isn't drawn that often. Similar to the way military style pistol holsters have a wide …

That's not much of a secret, is it? Their showmanship at public excruciations seems to include a bit of put-on bloodthirstiness, but they perform as ordered anyway. At times I h…

It's possible that the Silk is opposite from the middle of a long day section, so it is high noon as well as in the middle of the day overhead, but that the valleys are in the da…

In this scenario, does "to the rim" mean the valleys are each filled to their respective rim, or does it refer to some larger container, like the Whorl itself perhaps?…

I'm willing to be persuaded, but not by repeated assertion. If you can imagine a scenario where a valley inside a spinning, hollow asteroid can have a line of sight to an observe…

That would require tipping the base at a greater than complimentary angle with the slope of the mountain, that is, a degree for every degree short of a sheer, vertical cliff, and…
