An '''equalizer''' is something that gives people the same amount of power or status. "Math is the great equalizer", said [[Jaime Escalente]] in "[[Stand and Deliver]]". So education helps enormously to reduce the difference between the upper and lower classes (see [[upward mobility]]). A gun is also an "equalizer", as it enables a weak person to defend himself from a stronger, faster aggressor.

Liberals often say they want [[equality]], but want [[gun control]] laws that make [[self-defense]] difficult for the people who need it the most: urban inner-city blacks. They also have gain control of most states' public schools and are teaching math (and English) in such a way that by the time schoolchildren are ready to graduate high school and become adults they cannot use math well in everyday life.
