They do not have the legal power, of course, but neither do they have the physical power. An army may be defeated by another army, but the people of a nation cannot be, as long as they are aware of their principles and maintain their determination to observe them. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do children of humans as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
The item that got my attention most forcefully in the entire show was the new Blaser rifle called the R-93. It features the quick caliber interchange of previous models, but goes much farther than that. When the bolt handle is tugged rearward the entire radial locking system is withdrawn into the bolt proper, allowing the action to be opened and closed in a split second. Both right and left hand bolts are available, and a whole slew of calibers up to and including the 416. In all Blaser models the telescope is mounted on the barrel, which would lend itself well to Scoutscope system if the necessary ingredients were fabricated - which will not be for the present.
