I was treated to a movie Friday night. We saw "Star Wars-- The Rise of Skywalker".
There's a minor spoiler ahead, so if you don't want to read it, run away now.
The quotes are paraphrased since I wasn't actually taking notes during the movie, but it goes something like this:
During the climactic battle, the Rebels are outnumbered and it's clear they are going to lose. They are losing. Suddenly the sky fills with an uncountable number of ships, with more dropping out of hyperspace every second. Yes, much like the Reavers in that scene in "Serenity".
The commander of the State troops looks a bit panicked and asks whose navy this is, and his underling says it's no navy, it's "just people".
My thought at that moment was that this State was probably regretting "allowing" the people to keep and bear arms.
This is a good fictional illustration of why the natural human (or other sapient being) right to own and to carry weapons is one that must never be trivialized or allowed to atrophy.
Thank you to my sister and her wife for the nice night out.
