    Only one person has ever launched nuclear weapons in anger, President Harry Truman. Did he do so with the pen, or with the sword? Did he sign an executive order, or did he threaten to kill his officers if they didn't launch the attacks?

    • Did you read 'automatic' as 'atomic'?

    • NO - I escalated it. What would automatic weapons do against an executive order from President G W Bush? The pen defeats, or controls, the mightiest weapons of our age. Lesser weapons have no chance.

      You are holed up with all the automatic weapons you desire. The Governor, with his pen, calls out the State National Guard. Who wins?

    • My opinion would be that nuclear weapons are mightier than automatic weapons. And the pen is mightier than nuclear weapons, since it controls them. Therefore, if there is some sort of linear gradient, the pen is mightier than both the automatic weapons and the sword.

      Sheesh! Don't they teach them logic these days?
