History revionists try to re-paint Gandhi as a gun toting NRA type and MLK as a conservative

Now that is incredibly stupid

Gandhi was a fair bit smarter than you in understanding that non-violence works great if dealing with a more powerful oppressor that has a conscience and perhaps outside pressures to do the right thing. When dealing with an unconscionable oppressor with no significant outside help....better have a gun.

Gandhi was unarmed when he killed by a gunman. If he was such a gun nut, why wasn't he packing heat?
