How the hell did I get on this side of the fence...I started only wanting to bait ColWTH.

Look, humans have the right to own arms in order that, should a government become tyrannical, it can overthrow that government. Without weapons, it would be impossible to do so, as a tyrannical government has an army, you would have what, rhetoric? God? Sure, you have numbers, but unless they are armed numbers, your only 'weapon' would be to try and crush with the weight of your dead comrades onto an army. Not an option I'd run with.

This is the central, primary reason why firearms should ALWAYS be legal. There doesn't have to be another reason, this one is important enough to work on its own.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
